Thread: Ever had the Police show at your party?

Tweet

I think we must have REALLY understanding neighbors. Our party seems to coincide with the neighbor's party across the fence and with 2 loud parties going, no one ever says anything even with both parties on the back deck "woo hoo"ing at each other and my idiot drunk brother screaming "hail Satan!" at them for comedic effect in the super yuppie neighborhood, no one has said anything. Even had another, non-Halloween party that involved fireworks 2 months from Independence day and still no cops. Lucky us!

Only time we had cops show up was a grown-up pillow fight in the front yard on Thanksgiving while everyone was sober and laughing LOL! WOW!

(knocking on wood) soo far no!

Hmmm lets see... Three times in the passed six years. The first was because an overtly religious neighbor called up complaining that there was a "Satanic cult meeting" going on, even going so far as claiming that there was an orgy, human sacrifice, bloodletting and drug use. Funny part was, that was actually one of the tamest parties I had gone to. No alcohol, quiet music, 15 years and up... The cop just stopped by, took a look around, took the candy and soda we offered and drove off. He had the dispatcher flag all calls from that number too.

The second was at a different house. That one, yeah it needed the cops there, got way out of hand.

The third time a neighbor came in and started a ruckus, meanwhile there was an off duty cop at the party. Neighbor came in and just started tearing down decorations, cut the power cord on the stereo with a pair of hedge clippers and flipped over the table full of drinks, and started screaming about how the party and our "devil music" was upsetting his dogs. That lasted just until the off duty cop pinned him against the wall A uniform came and hauled the guy away, took some statements and asked the other neighbors if the party was disturbing them. Most of them said that other than all the cars out front they barely knew there was a party.

Now our little group knows which neighborhoods to avoid, so we're hoping this year will be smooth sailing.

I would be terrified if the cops showed up to my party! I didn't even like it when the cops showed up to the haunted house I worked at...

This is one of the scariest things I've read on this site!!!

It's not a party until the cops come.

Actually, I have only ever been at one official Halloween Party and it was in the rural highlands of Pennsylvania when I was a toddler. No one around for forty miles...no one to call the police. Not that it would have mattered. We knew all of the local police anyhow.

In Florida however, they cruise up and down the area I do my yard display in (because it is a nice area adjacent to a not-so-nice area and they are just trying to protect our sorry asses) and have had them double back to admire the scenery. I had an officer last year actually stop to tell us how much he has liked it for the last few years.

@ Drybones88,

Maybe a good idea for a prop: A animated Hangman hanging around your frondyard that looks exactly like that screwed-up neighbour of yours

But never had the cops show up at our party's (exept for my parents, uncles and aunts)

Every year i notify my neighbours about the upcoming party.
And since last year every neighbour have been very enthousiastic about halloween.

So probably the neighbours will also be at the party this year 1-0 for Halloween

Even people from the rest of the Town/city came to ask if it would be oke if the kids came for some T&Ting.
They have never expierenced it so i said offcourse they can!.
Last year i made it to the local paper so i hove i'll make ik to the National News this year
And since everybody was sprouting out Oehs and Aaahs last year, i think it wont be that hard.

Cops never showed up at my parties, but they often came in droves to the house of the ex-lawyer drug dealer who lived across the street.
