[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe it, but many of them do. How do you handle it? One parent called the police and reported underage drinking and the [b]dad who was serving told the police to leave unless they had a warrant.[/b] I’m sick that parents are teaching kids to disobey the law and taking liberties with the safety of other people’s children. Do you report it? What else do you do?[/quote]

I'm against underage drinking, but what would you have done in this circumstance? Let the kids get cited by the cops for underage drinking? I'd rather they not get caught. [/quote]

I wouldn’t be in that situation. I teach my children that laws should obeyed and police should be respected. [/quote]

And the law is that police should have a warrant. [/quote]

No if the police see underage drinking or arrest kids as they leave the party, the police will go on your property and start arresting kids and the home owner. [/quote]

No, once again uninformed DCUM with zero legal knowledge rears its ugly head.

You do not have to allow the police into your home.  If the kids are being served alcohol in your home and are not outside of your home, there is no reason for the police to need to come in your home.  The parent was completely within his rights to tell the police officer to leave and return with a warrant because he's never going to get a warrant for that.

Also, it's completely legal (at least in VA) for a parent to serve their own child alcohol in their own home.  It's not legal to serve other underage minors, however.  But, like this person did above, telling the officer to get a warrant and not allowing him in their home is legal as well.      [/quote]
