They wouldn't ask you to be present. Why would they want some random citizen to be present in such a situation? The person could end up being violent and start shooting. Or since they know who the person is who ID'd them, they might try to track you down and get some sort of revenge.

Mind your business. There responsibility to drive safely. Your not an officer of the law. Get out of your imagination and think about real problems.

You've obviously never called 911. They always ask every single personal detail of you when you call and pretty well insist on LEO meeting you personally to get more of the story. I called once to report some gunshots in the park close by to us at 3:30 in the morning and specifically said I was going back to bed and not to show up. Guess who showed up 10 minutes later at my door? Especially if they had no evidence themselves, they would need your statement present to ID them and make a statement.

I have called 911 plenty of times. Never have I been asked to personally meet with the responding officer.

A former neighbor called in a gunshot. Not only did the police show up at the house, the officers knocked on every door on the block to find out if anyone else had heard it.

Yep same here. I'm not paying attention to what the driver is doing behind me either.
