I'm pretty sure they do...probably more.

Yes, is that right, no. It is immoral, unjust and illegal.

Cops do look out for their own, but less so for drunk driving than mere infractions. For example, a few years ago a police chief in a city near San Diego (I believe it was El Cajon) was arrested for DUI. If you do a google search for "police chief arrested fro DUI," you will see many other occurrences. I have no empirical data to back up this statement, but I suspect most officers who are clearly drunk will be arrested. However, I suspect that if an officer is suspected of being drunk, the officer who pulled him over will not do as an extensive field sobriety test as he would for any other motorist.

Most cops will let other cops go for minor infractions. It's called Professional Courtesy. Speeding, blowing a red light, crap like that. DUI is a little different. Depends on alot of factors. How drunk are they? What's their attitude? Do I like the guy or is he an idiot? These are all the same questions I would ask myself when it was just any other person on the street. Would I let him drive away? No, probably not. But I would be more likely to call him a ride than if it was just anyone. On the flip side, I have pinched cops for speeding and other minor stuff. I've even popped a couple for DUI and a couple for Domestic Violence. (Unlike most other vocations, if you get a Domestic Violence conviction, you're out of a job. Same with a DUI.)

No. Drunk driving is serious. They might let them get away with parking, or speeding or the like...but not drunk driving. A sheriff from my brother's town was arrested and convicted of drunk driving last year. He was arrested by a deputy, who was also a friend, from one town over.
