it sounds like you're mad becuase you feel that the cops were violating your rights? don't forget that undercover cops and and stealth snitchers (could be your best friend) exist to help this kind of stuff happen.
ofcourse parents will usually say that parties with obnoxious music (reading above) is absurd and that officials should be able to break up parties anyway they can. in my view, I'd say the cops were doing it for fun, or they are investigating something they believe to be unsafe to the good of public society within their district.
why were you at the party? having a good time, why not? don't get caught with your pants down, assuming that because you could disrupt neigbors with a nice party, that everyone else will agree with having the right not to let cops into an area where uncivil practices are being held. above all, bad things happen after 11pm.
my advice, is that if cops show up at a party, don't go back to the area unless you have to. the law has no nationality, it is controlled by people who have degrees and knowledge beyond the average civilian.
I showed up at the party because a few friends dragged me there. It's one of those huge frat parties that all those first years go to. Of course I'm not that young anymore, and it's been a while since I've walked frat row to find aparty, so I said sure why not for the night. I had no alcohol that night because I wasn't in the mood, so I was just I' there to dance around
(there were a LOT of hot girls).
I'm not particularly pissed about the cops breaking it up or taking pics. I'm just worried about what MIGHT happen with the pictures..... I've heard about employers searching on facebook and myspace for incriminating photos, and while the cops can't say I was doing anything illegal, I was thinking along those lines with such photos.
I really don't know how warrants + noisy parties work, but I've been to at least 4 -5 parties where the cops broke it up. All these parties are usually like apartment parties where there are 40 ppl inside drinking with music blasting. It's usually just them telling us to leave, but no one's ever gotten a citation or anything even though the person who owns the apartment wasn't even 21.
This is the first frat party that I stayed long enough at to see it get broken up by cops, and so I don't know how it really works w/ warrants or what not. But to get into these frat parties, there's usually people blocking the driveway to regulate people in, and then another few people guarding the door (they even check student IDs and what not to make sure you aren't a cop).... maybe some undercover cop got in?
