If cops are called to your house party, what should you do?

[miichaelsmith]

A. Get everyone inside, lower the music and ignore them?

B. Answer the door and talk to them?

C. Other?

Well, laws differ state to state and country to country but here in South Australia, it would probably be for a noise complaint and if they have to come out twice, you cop a fine(owner/renter of property). So, I guess C, which would be a combination A + B.

Answer the door and be civil and respectful.

Answer the door and be civil and respectful.

Yes, this. As much as we hate cops, it's always best to bite your tongue and be respectful.

Ever seen the show Campus PD? Most of the people on there are a prime example of what not to do.

LOL at option "A" even being an option. Just answer and be sure no obvious signs of underaged drink is evident or any other illegal activities for that matter. Be respectful and don't act like you know all there is to know about everything.

back when I was in H.S. and we would have keg parties, we would call the police ourself when the beer was running low to get rid of everyone. Answer the door and ask them what they want you to do.

[redsubdivisions]

Invite them in for some beers. Hey, cops are people too. lol

Answer the door stark naked and hit on the cop

Go to jail, do not collect 200 dollars.

Most of the time when we get have police show up at our frat parties or house parties, we just act compliant and do whatever it takes to get them to leave.

Then we proceed to return to partying as normal.

Never had a problem

My Brother's buddy answered the door, and proceeded to pass out and fall out the doorway toward the cops....Much laughter ensued.

If it is this cop, I say, invite him in...

Answer the door shut it right away so they can't see in the house. And talk to them but dont let them in unless they have a warrant. Have everybody inside sit still and not try to hide just makes things worse.
