So you want to throw a party. Of the school is out for summer sort. Well you are unfortunately going to need to know how to deal with the police if you want to do that, because they show up for a lot for those things.

Remember cops do not want to arrest anyone if they do not need to. Not because they are so nice (many of them are real assholes who were not invited to graduation parties) but because arresting kids is a pain in the butt for them.

When the cops come to the door, do not tell them what they can and can not do. You hate lawyers, I hate lawyers and cops hate them far more then ether you or I. Do not act like a lawyer.

Do not get mad at them. You hate jerks, I hate jerks, cops even if they are jerks themselves, hate them more than you do. And cops carry Tasers.

Never tell a cop nothing is going on. They would not be at your party if nothing was going on. Cops are lied to everyday. They will never believe you about anything, if you answer their first question by denying the obvious.

Please when the cops come, do not run away. It is your place, where are you going to run? Cops are a lot like dogs,  if you run they get real excited and its real bad when they catch your dunk butt.

Here is an example of the right way to handle the cops at your door.

"Cops are your friends" remember that fact even if you do not believe it. As a matter of fact only fools believe they really are.

Once there was a party for a guy who had joined the Marine corp. He was right out of high school the guy throwing the party for him was was one of only three people there who were of legal drinking age. But there were well over fifty people at the party. The entire girls swim team from my old high school had arrived direct from a state championship meet. When the cops showed up, a lot of high school kids went running out the back door. Some of of them were smoking their hemp up fast, trying to get high and get rid of evidence at the same time. There wasn’t one sober person in the house. All this was a very bad start, very bad. The guy whose house it was, he was quite drunk as well, but he managed to answer the door looking sort of sober. They asked him if someone in a blue Ford F150 had been here. He had no idea, but if they’re asking him about a Ford, it must be for a good reason. Like someone called the police on these guys in the F150.

“Yes, what’s this all about officer?” He sounded was so "concerned" about that truck.  The two cops start telling him how the neighbors heard these evil guys in the truck yelling obscenities and threats and other bad things. "The cops are not after me yet", they are looking for some jerk ( whose last name is Michael) in a Ford F150.  “Oh yeah, I remember those punks.” He lied his ass off, as he told them a story of a Blue truck full of high school kids coming into the party and trying to grab some beer. “But I kicked them out because they were underage. I bet that’s why they were yelling, officer.” As he said this, there were teenagers peeking through the blinds directly to the right of the oblivious cops.

That is a good example of properly handling police officers who come to break up your graduation party. I hope I was of some help to you.  One last thing, do not drive home until the morning sun, when you are sober again. Nothing your parents are going to do to you is half as bad as being arrested or being found dead in a ditch.

Other than don't do it, that is the best advice I have on this subject.
