Your friends and family members will report you to the police for DUI and get you charged.

Don't underestimate how fast your "friends", loved ones and other third parties (waitresses, drive thru workers) will call 911 to report you for drunk driving. They may enjoy it and feel virtuous.

Most accused don't realize how quickly and easily people around them will turn them in for DUI. The second you leave they are usually on the phone with 911 to have you arrested. DUI reports are frequently made by family members, friends, coworkers, and staff at bars, restaurants and drive thrus. They are not on your side and will turn you in with a smile.

They feel accomplished by getting you charged and bask in their virtue. They want to do the right thing, and perhaps they did, but in some cases they could have tried to stop you first instead. A true friend would "take the keys" or strongly warn you, not acquiesce, watch you dangerously drink and drive, and then have you arrested for it afterwards.

The accused's own friends are usually the ones who called the police and got them charged. They were not randomly pulled over.

The accused often wonders why the police pulled them over. It may seem like a random traffic stop, in reality their vehicle description and location was provided to the police by a third party witness claiming they were drinking and driving.

The name of who called the police will probably be documented in the disclosure provided by the Crown.

When you are criminally charged with DUI your lawyer will eventually get the disclosure from the Crown Attorney. The disclosure should document the sequence of events leading up to the arrest was. The accused may be in the dark about who called the police prior to obtaining the disclosure.

Not all people accused of impaired driving are guilty. Cases can sometimes be dropped or acquitted after identifying problems with the Crown's case. This can include problems with how the police gathered evidence, Charter violations, the treatment of the accused, and myriad other issues. Problems with the case can be the key to your freedom.
