"If one kid had come there, even hadn't drank there, but had come there and had been drinking and had left and crashed and burned, then what would the sentiment be? Why didn't the police check everybody out?"
When you have a probable cause situation, cops can't just conduct a cursory once over and assume there's nothing illegal going on. Had just one kid been drinking there, and got into a wreck on the way home, there would've been hell to pay. Try looking at it through the eyes of the cop, and I think you'll see they did what they had to.
And yes, the little a**hole trying to get a "gotcha" in on the cops should have to pay for everything. Maybe next time he has a party, he'll tell his little friends to park a little better and be a little quieter.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Quit licking their boots,
But you don't have a 'probable cause situation', unless you call searching and breath-testing all those kids because a couple cars were parked illegally 'probable cause'.
If the kids didnt smell of alchol, slur their speech, stagger around...denied they had been drinking, where was the probable cause????
Just because some kids didnt park to suit you, doesnt mean you have a bunch of drunks on your hands.
Do you believe you are innocent until proven guilty?
I am sick and tired of the police trying to micro-manage the lives of the citizens they are hired to serve!
Sorry, don’t buy it.
My son was walking home one night after going to a local fast food restaurant. He put a bag into his sweatshirt. It was cold outside, he was keeping food warm. The local cop pulled over and told him to take out whatever he had put into the shirt. He assumed it was drugs. My son knows how they work here. He took the bag out. The cop was so mad that he found mashed potatoes! He had my son take off his shoes so he could make sure he did not have anything hidden there. This happens all the time.
My son knows that anything like that happens again, he is not to go along with the nonsense. They are out of control around here. But, it is time to stop putting up with it.
If I want to throw a party and it gets noisy, then deal with that. Don’t be assuming kids are drunk.
So...there were citations for parking and noise?
