I have these 2 crazy neighboors one who lives way across the street with a house set back closer to the back yard and when she sees cars in our driveway she calls the cops. when we are on our roof she calls the cops.
she pretty much calls 911 everytime we do something out of the ordinary like bieng in our garage.
anyways, her daughter lives across the street from her- next door to us. and she makes her daughter call the police on us for noise complaints, 24/7. even when we are not making noise
whe play guitar and drums and our house is completely soundproofed (over 300 dollars invested)
there have been 27 times the police have been here in all.
sound ordinance is from 8am to 10 pm. She calls the police 3 or 4 times a day, and they show up, usually cant here anything and leave.
yesterday, new cops (we know the whole force, they are nice to us) show up at 4 in the afternoon for a sound complaint, and knock on our door, my roomate and I go outside and the cops are telling us we had a sound complaint
"What is going on in there?" the cop then asked how many people were inmy house and demanded to come in and look and i told him no he could not.
Im standing in front of the door and he grabs the handle and tries to open it, but im in front of the door and i take my hand and slam the door back shut and i yell "YOU CANNOT COME IN TO MY HOUSE" as i slam the door the cop doesnt let go of the handle and falls forward and runs into my aIrm.
i look over and my roomate is already in handcuffs and the police officer tells me to let him in and i tell him again no you cant come in. He replies and says Im in the middle of a police investigation i can do what i want"
and I yell LOCK THE DOOR, and my friend behind me locks the door and he tells me im under arrest. my phone is in my hand, and he locks both of my handcufss WAY TO TIGHT. I Flip my phone and dial 911 as he tells me i "
assaulted a police officer" and i start saying You cannot just come in my house without a warrant you tried to open my door, WHAT ARE YOU ARRESTING ME FOR"
im being arrested for a breach of the peace, assaulting a police officer, and resisting arrest.
he sees the phone in my hand and starts grabbing at it, ripping the cover off and i i drop it and the battery comes out, they pick it up and bring me over to the car
my wrist is IN SERIOUS PAIN, and i get slammed against the back of the cop car. well, my phone call did some good, because the superivisor showed up.
the police officer told the supervisor i touched him and that was battery, and i told them i have a camera on my door "right there" and another cop replies
we have one in our car right here" and i say "then we will know the truth wont we?"
he didnt respond and proceded to write my a citation and the supervisor told them to loosen my handcuffs, i look at my wrist, the skin is chaffed and my wrist is black and blue.
we get a citation, i call the police department, and they tell us that all of this is our fault, and we dont have crazy neighboors, and all the police could here the music, (which theyve come out here 27 times and usually CANT.
so after i get back home, i have my roomate play, i go across the street and listen, and i cant hear anything, i call the police station and ask for an officer to meet with me, and they tell me they will be doing sound checks when they choose.
i ask them if there is a certain decibal level we are allowed to have, because you can "FAINTLY" here the music across the street.
and if CODE ENFORCEMENT can come out and check the decibals, they tell me they dont have equipment like that, but the cop has a recorder on his belt, and they say that if the recorder can pick up the music, the it is evidence that it is too loud"
they told me they will not come out with a decibal meter, and that is up to an attorney if i so please.
HOW THE FUCK can they tell me im being to LOUD, with properly diagnosing the PROBLEM.
I asked the supervisor how it is possible they can write me a citation, if they have no "proof" that i am being to loud, a recorder on a cops belt, doesn't say
"This is over a certain sound level 50ft from the premises"
so yeah i need advice.
