On a Friday night three years ago, I was at a friends house playing music at about 8PM. The area is quite rural, most folks have 5 to 10 acres. The cops showed up in force, two cruisers at first, then a van with search light and one more cruiser. They ordered us all outside, in a line, four from the band and three friends. My three kids were there too, playing with the hosts kids. The cops walked up and down, guns in hand,shining their flashlights in our eyes and making us each show ID. They asked if we had drugs or guns, and if they could search the trailers. The host said no. They finally left after issuing the host a citation for disorderly conduct (the noise ordinance in the nearby town allows noise until 10PM, but since there is no noise ordinance in the county, they can cite you for disorderly conduct at any hour) and warning us that they'd be keeping an eye out for us. They could have just said to keep it down. Oops--wrong forum. How do I edit to discussion?
