I suspect the problem is there needs to be a phone number like 911 for non-emergency situations. Of course, a drunk driver can become an emergency situation in a hurry, but I was never sure whether to call 911 or the police department... and really, who knows the phone number for the police department off the top of their head?

Exactly what I was wondering about. I would worry about taking up a 911 line if its something that you just should call a regular number for. So for those who have done it, was it 911 or another police number? Do they ever get upset at you for using up a 911 line for calling something like that in?
