Birthday, ACAB and Cops: Being boring

Being boring

By dicedicebaby - 23/03/2015 00:20 - United States - Columbus

Today, I had my 18th birthday party. At midnight, three police officers showed up at my door and asked if they could look around. Were we doing anything bad? Nope. My friends suck at parking. Before they left, the officers said that this was the most toned down party they'd seen in years. FML

Today, some cops came to my house saying that the neighbors thought the party I was having was too loud and obnoxious. It was my grandmother's 86 birthday party. FML

Today, after my parents left for the weekend, my "friends" decided to throw a party at my house, despite my protests. In order to get them to leave, I called the police. I was the only one arrested, while they got warnings. FML

Today, I celebrated my 18th birthday. Alone. My only birthday wish came from the police officer who gave me a ticket. FML

Today, it's my birthday. A month ago, I'd told everyone I invited to my party that it was going to be adults only. One of my friends brought her kids with her anyway, then started screaming and trashing the place when I politely asked her to leave. The cops had to be called to finally get her out of my house.

Today, I was at a party when the cops showed up. They asked whether anyone had a gun, but I heard "fun" instead and raised my hand. I got searched. FML

Today, I had a small gathering of family and friends over to celebrate my son's baptism. One of my friends happens to be a police officer. The entire event consisted of him arresting three of my family members. Don't worry, he came back to get some cake. FML

Today, it was my 18th birthday and I was told I couldn't get the night off work because a party of 34 had booked into the restaurant. It turned out my family had come in to 'celebrate' by making me wait on them. They were a nightmare, thought it was hilarious to be difficult, and didn't tip. FML

Today, as I returned home, I noticed some movement inside my house. Thinking it was a break-in, I called 911. It was my friends and some coworkers trying to throw me a surprise birthday party. Nobody's said a word to me since. FML

Busted!

Today, I went to a party. Although I wasn't drinking, I was still afraid the cops would bust me. Halfway through the party, the cops showed up. I tried to hop a fence, ripping my pants and cutting my leg in the meantime. It wasn't until was on the ground that I found out there was a gate. FML

PARTAY!

By Life of the party - 19/08/2009 05:13 - France

Today, I threw a party while my parents were gone. I forgot that our alarm automatically turns on at 11 pm, so when people opened the door, it went off. I couldn't find the number for the alarm company, so the cops showed up. Everyone started cheering because they thought they were strippers. FML

Toned down doesn't mean a bad thing, i always find parties where you just have a laugh the best anyway.

The best parties are the quiet ones :) my favourite birthday party was when me and 3 close friends went to see a movie and then they all slept over. Hope it was an awesome toned down party :)

By your username, it sounds like you were possibly having fun playing D&D. It really doesn't matter how loud the party is, as long as you're enjoying yourself with friends and having a good time. All my birthdays are like that. Spending time with the people I love on my birthday by having a big dinner and just hanging out. Who needs that shitty after effects of partying the day after, not me. Enjoy your birthday OP.

Quiet parties are often the most fun! Plus, you probably gave the officers a rare glimpse into the better side of the young generation. Happy Birthday, OP!

Was I the only one that thought this FML was going in the stripper direction?

Dumb ass!!! if the cope didn't have a warrant to search the premises should not have let them in this one is on you. kids these day are idiots.

You are an idiot. As long as officers have probable cause "like a park job looking like perhaps a drunk driver" they do not need a warrant. Secondly, they asked to enter the house hold if OP said yes anything an officer finds in "plain sight" is legal. If OP said no then the officers have no legal grounds for entry and can only question from the doorway.

Seems like it was enough to attract their attention

Ok, if you weren't doing anything wrong and they had no reason to believe you were you really shouldn't have let them in.

It they weren't doing anything wrong, then not letting them look is suspicious and the cops would probably have waited round the corner to give traffic violation tickets. Why not let them look if there is nothing to hide?
