California call 911 to report drunk drivers!!

Those of you that live in or have passed through california may have seen this, usually on the illuminated traffic alert signs.
well tonight while driving home we came up upon a guy who was having a very hard time to keep it between the lines, so my girlfriend said i think i should call and she did. we told the operator all the needed info and was instructed not to deliberately follow. we just so happened we were going the same way she assured us she would send officers right away. since we were going the same way we informed them when he changed directions or freeways. we were behind this guy atleast 40 miles and not one CHP officer did we see.
it was pretty frustrating and up until he exited no one was hit. i am just not sure why if they do not have the man power to respond to thes call that they request the public to call in. seems like they are clogging the 911 lines even more for someting they would not always be able to responde to.

anyway just venting, feel free to comment with your 2 cents
