This is a true story. I will try my best to keep it clean, but some imagination will be required.
A couple years ago, I was driving home from a NAMI meeting, probably around 9PM. I was heading east on I-40, having just left the city limits of Albuquerque when I spotted a late 80's Oldsmobile (what my son used to call a "Tuna boat.") This car was drifting from side to side and was not maintaining his lane at all.
I assumed a DWI so I called the area sheriff station to report possible drunk driver. As I was on the phone with dispatch, I agreed to stay behind the guy until the deputies could get him pulled over. I told them when I saw the deputies I would turn on my emergency flashers to alert them to the car in front of me.
The got him pulled over and the dispatcher asked if I'd like to meet one of the deputies at the next exit to give them full report on what I had seen while the other deputy had him pulled over.
Anyway, I met one of the deputies at a McDonalds at the next exit and relayed to him all I had witnessed, then we just started shooting the breeze about this and that.
Before too long, the deputy who had pulled the guy over drove up and got out of his car to let us know the status.
The guy wasn't DWI. Seems his girl friend was in the front seat with him and, well, let's just say she was "distracting" him. I think he got a ticket for distracted driving.
I'm pretty sure I laughed out loud the rest of the way home.

Sure it wasn't lip service? I mean talking back to the policeman

LEO pals have related many tales of similar nature. One of 'em:
Dispatch receives an emergency call regarding a woman screaming in the home next door, officers respond to hear a woman screaming to "Help!! Help my husband!!" Doors locked, they forced entry, went to where the woman was screaming. Found she was naked and tied to the bed. On the floor, naked husband was face down unconscious, a bath towel tied around his neck. After the man was gurney'd out to the ambulance and the woman released, calmed down and covered, she gave an explanation: They were "playing Superman" and husband leapt from a dresser to "rescue" her, unfortunately coming face-first into a running ceiling fan and went down to the floor in a face-plant.

I have a sneaking suspicion adult beverages were involved.

We used to drive to our cottage for the summer on I-75. One time as we were rolling along about 70mph or so, my mother was driving, a convertible with some pretty young women was in front of us. We were in the left lane. Up on our right comes a big semi with a box trailer. We're all going 70+ mph. Next thing that happens is the young woman in the passenger seat must have caught a draft as her shirt was suddenly up under her chin! And the semi driver must have been in shock as just as suddenly the moon appeared in his window of his semi....and it was a full moon!!! All of this happened at 70+mph going up I-75!
