Terminology: REDDI Report

REDDI stands for Report Every Drunk Driver Immediately.

It is a way for citizens to report suspected drunk drivers to law enforcement.

Heard during a DUI trial. One of the witnesses that testified was the citizen who had called in the REDDI Report, to notify law enforcement of another vehicle’s erratic driving.

"He passed the sobriety test. Now I think he's just showing off."

Translations

Spanish – REDDI is an acronym. Unless anyone knows of a common equivalent in a Spanish-speaking country, I would refer to it as un Informe REDDI.
