Around here, too. The only way the police here said they would even send an officer was if I were to trail the vehicle until a patrol car could arrive and observe them. Obviously, that would be well after they've executed their bonehead maneuver and, unless they're high/drunk, too late. Of course, if the police answered every call they ever received, they'd get nothing else done. Possible case in point: http://www.snopes.com/crime/cops/burger.asp
