MENSA entry exam.....?
POLICE get a call from a motorist who has followed a car that they saw leaving a restaurant car park.
The motorist tells them that the car is drifting from one side of the road to the other and she saw it pull over into a lay-by where the driver (the only occupant) was sick. The car then pulled out and continued on its way (still drifting from one side of the road to the other).
It is 11.30pm and the motorist reported the direction of travel as a main road towards a local town.
The motorist gave the registration number of the car, which is recorded as someone living in the town.
Cops in the area get the report over the radio and soon catch up with the "offending" driver.
Sure enough, the car is drifting over the centre line and touching the verge - doing 30mph in a 60mph limit.
They "pull" the car and as it stops the driver gets out - staggering and needing to lean on the car to stand up. The driver is incoherent to the point of not being able to speak properly.
A call comes in on the radio that a person living half a mile away has seen someone acting suspiciously ouside their house - this does not appear to be connected to the vehicle the cops have stopped.
Looking in the car, the cop sees a pack of cigarettes, a bottle of lucozade and a mobile phone on the passenger seat.
What should happen next?
a. Arrest the driver and go to the Police Station
b. Arrest the driver and go the report of the suspicious person
c. Take their car keys and go to the other report - leaving the driver stranded
d. Other (you say what you would do)
e. Call an ambulance
f. Take the driver home with no penalty then go to the other report
g. There is no right answer, this is the real world
Note
a. You will not be able to attend the other report.
b. You will have to stay with the person you have arrested - if they choke on their vomit in the back of your Police car, thats manslaughter.
c. Similar reason to b. If they get run over - you are in court for manslaughter.
f. You might get a "Thank you Ossifer" from the driver, but it will be 20 minutes before you go to the other job.

Deal with the job and let another officer go to the second. Otherwise if you let this one go they might kill someone else. Theres no report that an actual offence is being committed at the second location. This driver is obviously driving in a manner that may cause an accident.

"let another Officer go to the second (job)" means ignore the second job.
There is no "other Officer".
Arrest the first, request to meet an ambulance outside the house with the disturbance. Their presence and yours may deter the suspicious person as you hand over the drunk (presume it's drink?) to the ambulance crew for you to investigate the second or go and collect your partner from the kebab shop where you left him
