What about if the Police see a drunk about to get into a car and drive off, should they wait until he sets off or arrest him before he gets in?

I would look at the crime in hand, and act accordingly.
1. Bombers - Providing there was Evidence to support the arrest then arrest as soon as possible.
2. As soon as the drunk is in the vehicle with the keys he is ready for arrest.
The Thred is about people (Look at them in the videos) who arnt going to cause possible harm to anyone, damage property or commit fraud. so no Common Law is being broken.
