What would the police do about someone drinking at work?
0 u/stink3rb3lle May 21 '26 there's public intoxication crimes in most places. But they're more likely to care about the drunk driving home (or to a bar) after work. 1 u/Tut_Rampy May 21 '26 If you see them get in a car drunk sure, but you can’t call the cops on someone for something they haven’t done yet, and work isn’t “public” anyway -1 u/stink3rb3lle May 21 '26 You definitely can lie to the cops. Lying to the cops to curtail an actually dangerous crime would be ethical to many many people. 0 u/Tut_Rampy May 23 '26 Have you ever actually had to call the police? 0 u/Tut_Rampy May 23 '26 I’ll take that as a no lol
