Calgary did the same warning letter system as well for a while - not sure if it is still going. But I think the idea is that if someone sees you go through a stop sign or thinks you are speeding a bit too much that they send a reminder letter. But an alleged drunk driver?

Absolutely. There's nothing they can do except bring a 'my word vs their word' type argument, and you'd win every time.
Listening to the RCMP scanner in Cochrane, you'd be amazed at how many times people call in vehicles going 150+ on Hwy 1 or 1a and they actually do something about it. Almost every time they caught up or set up down the road to catch them (most of the time working in conjunction with the Sheriffs). Lots of drunk drivers pulled off because people call it in.
