Technically the cop could do two things to give the decoy a hard time.
For one, he could still haul the guy in for driving under the influence of alcohol AND/OR drugs. This means a trip downtown, waiting for the results of a urine test and posting bail, getting his car out of impound, all that fun.
He could also charge him with obstructing justice, which may be a felony even if the DUI would not have been. That means alot more bail money for one, and has a few other ramifications. One of them is that the charge is not likely to be reduced. Well maybe to impeding an investigation. Perhaps even supplying false evidence, no matter that it was against himself.
Each is defensible of course, but that means lawyer bills for most people.
A nice joke, but is not a good idea in practice.
I didn't mean to get serious here in humor, but someone else started it.
I have actually been a Designated Decoy, the problem was that I was drunk as hell at the time :-)
