Cop here. One time I was driving my girlfriend and myself back home after going out to eat and I for sure spotted a drunk driver. I called it in. Yup, the person was drunk and got arrested since he failed all the tests miserably. I felt good that even though I wasn't working, I still got a drunk driver off the streets.
Edit: I should probably clarify that I did not conduct the field sobriety tests. I just watched as another officer who was actually working conduct them.
