[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 368597, member: 1233"] Why is it that the consequences for parties like this are so minimal? Parking violations, fire code violations, noise ordinance violations, underage drinking, drinking and driving (ALWAYS happens at this type of party with at least a couple of people), and many other things could be cited. Not to mention that searching the partiers and the premises would turn up marijuana and other drugs most of the time. Sure seems like a fair bit of revenue could be earned if the cops would spend a bit of time there writing citations. It would also be an actual deterrent and would create much goodwill for the police from neighbors of the party house. Some of the fines for those behaviors are fairly expensive, at least everywhere I have lived. I wish the cops were a little more willing to be sticklers in situations like this. The neighbors who are "hot to trot" to get the host arrested will lose their enthusiasm in a couple of weeks. Keep calling over any issues at all. It will likely take almost as many reports to get anything significant done as it takes us to get the courts to do anything about our difficult children who break the laws. [/QUOTE]
