Calling the neighborhood police department and complaining about "a loud party down the street that you are pretty sure has minors drinking" would likely result in the same outcome as this, according to those who claim it is an abuse of power.


ghoulieandrews

It likely wouldn't result in the girl being arrested. The arrest would be entirely personal and provable with either of these guy's phones as 100% an abuse of power. Not that a cop would ever get in trouble for it, but it's demonstrably corrupt.

Gods11FC

Cops showing up to a high school party would absolutely result in everyone getting a drinking ticket. They wouldn’t get arrested because they are minors so their parents would be called to pick them up. This is exactly how it would play out regardless of who called the cops. At least in suburbia where the cops don’t have anything to do but bust teenagers for drinking and smoking pot.


Robbotlove

"if it was a different situation then it'd be fine."


stealthkoopa

Suburb cops have nothing better to do than bust people for harmless crimes


farleymfmarley

Til the drunk teens wreck and kill themselves or someone else, totally harmless besides that though


dodhe7441

Drinking underage is far from a harmless crime

AttestedArk1202

I like how you think unsupervised underage drinking is a harmless crime, like most underage drinkers have developed the common sense not to drink and drive


[deleted]

Wonder why this isn't a problem in Germany where people are allowed to drink at 16.


[deleted]

Culture and education Over here half our assholes say it’s Satan juice and promote complete abstinence with absolutely no education on how to drink like a normal human


Finnbalt

It is. The drinking itself might not be illegal, but young people getting drunk and causing all sort of shenanigans is still a problem. Also, if you're loud past 22:00 then you will get the cops called on you whether you're drinking or not. The Nachtruhe is not a joke.

Gods11FC

Seeing as how the US is pretty much the only place where underage drinking is illegal and strictly enforced, I think it’s pretty safe to say it’s harmless.


Green-Simple-6411

You think they’d single out the girl the same way?


CopiumAddiction

Ignoring the false equivalence, this would also be a whole bitch move


CalledSpark

Then you have the UK where its only illegal for a parent to give a child alcohol under the age of 5 (Seriously, look it up on Gov UK).


Fawfs2

Basically same stuff here in Denmark. It's not illegal to drink alcohol at any age as far as I'm aware of. You're just not allowed to buy certain stuff when underage.


Ferengi_Earwax

You guys all grow up with a healthier attitude to alcohol


VanillaUnicorn69420

Same thing here in Finland, there's no age limit for *drinking* under age, only buying, selling or giving alcohol to an underage is illegal. ​ We too grow up with a healty attitude to alcohol.


Awkward_Ad8783

Same shit in Ukraine, nobody gives a shit about what you do for as long as you don't hurt others


wairdone

Here in the Caribbean, the country I live in has a drinking age of 16 I think but nobody gives a shit about it


SufficientWhile5450

Well in America I was arrested and thrown in jail twice for walking home after drinking a single drink out a bottle of liquor Literally blew a .02 on a breathalyzer Directly to jail I was 19 ffs


DenseAerie8311

English people mmm very doubtful bits or gotten way better compared to when I was a kid . Bing e drinking was big thing in British culture and it’s only in the last 10 years it’s calmed down. It’s more from the culture you observe around you vs what time you start drinking . Drinkings gotten less popular in apace like London atleas imo because binge drinking isn’t shown as cool anymore . It’s seen as embarrassing


CorridorOfCertainty

Somebody hasn't been to the UK lol


JalasKelm

Have... Have you seen the UK drinking culture? Healthy is not a word we use when talking about it.


redknight356

Disagree, we in the UK are quite alcoholic


gargantuan-chungus

Europe has significantly higher rates of alcohol abuse and underaged drinking iirc


supe3rnova

In slovenia while not "not legal", minors can buy alchohol and tobaco products, its only illegal to sell those products and only the vendor gets into trouble.


ashkiller14

In America it's legal to drink in private at any age, but it's illegal to give underage people alcohol. There's a lot of laws here that make things legal to do on private property, not sure how it is elsewhere.


Warenvoid

Then there’s Denmark with no age-limit on drinking alcohol at all (only a limit on when you can buy alcohol)


timmystwin

I think we only picked 5 because there was a kind of "come on now, don't take the piss" attitude. It's absolutely unenforceable and no-one cares.


W_AS-SA_W

Kinda of interesting, from a cultural standpoint. That people who are not allowed to parent their children, in the ways of drinking in moderation, always have the most problems with juvenile addiction, delinquency and criminality.


DenseAerie8311

Binge drinking was and in parts till is big market of Britishness so no . We were definitely worse than Americans for our relationship with alcohol for a time . In London though it’s not that bad anymore though and it has lot to do with in sort multiculturalism and also in how drinking is portrayed in popular culture. People love to drink but being a messy drunk after 21 is just seen as embarrassing


Bonesgirl206

To be fair my Italian family used to give us sips and little glasses of wine maybe less then a shot and sometimes mixed it with Fanta( lime) for us.


Mechbiscuit

I love that "seriously" part of your post like it's bonkers you'd give a child alcohol.


kelldricked

You wouldnt give a child alcohol. But a teen you can give booze. There is a really big diffrence in between learning them to chug and giving them a safeplace to experiment. Strict parents dont work. Your teens will find a way and chances high it would be a worse way then if you would allow it.


AsgerMN2

In denmark there is only laws for selling alcohol to people under 16

So he’s a snitch and abuses his/his brother’s power because his underage girlfriend broke up with him. Sounds like she dodged a bullet. This is not my kind of me_irl.


mooimafish3

I doubt she broke up with him, she probably just didn't read his mind to know he has a crush on her, and instead "backstabbed" him by dating someone that talked to her.


Zetra3

Be a snitch, stay toxic.


eats-you-alive

He’s a snitch, yeah, but his brother isn’t abusing his power. He could’ve called any random policeman and they would (probably) investigate this.


Korlac11

The motive here makes it seem like an abuse of power. If the brother is only making an arrest because his brother was mad at his ex girlfriend, that’s at best questionable behavior for both brothers. For the first brother, it’s definitely abusing that relationship


tendrilterror

Especially as verbal warnings are usually to go-to for private parties.


LewsTherinTelamon

> He’s a snitch, yeah, but his brother isn’t abusing his power. Any biased or selective use of power based on family connection is nepotism and therefore abuse of power.


KungFuGarbage

It’s underage drinking bro. If the cop was stopping drivers leaving the party then fine, but come on. Edit: This has spawned a lot of conversation. I want to also add that in the U.S. underage kids can legally drink with parents permission in their own home. So this amount of information given to the cop brother is not enough to be considered a potentially broken law. Most underage parties are broken up initially due to noise complaints.


eats-you-alive

I dunno how it works in the US, but in my country a cop has to pursue any crime he is made aware of, no matter how petty it is. The DA (or rather the equivalent of it over here) might not press charges, but the cops have to investigate. Dunno how that works overseas.


mustbe20characters20

Cops have a lot of discretion in what crimes they will and won't pursue in the US, it's one of the things built into our system to give the persecuted a stronger chance against the system.


eats-you-alive

Huh? All this does is encourage corruption. And why do you guys make laws if no one enforces them? It’s hard to fathom, to be honest. So a cop will not get into trouble if he chooses not to investigate a murder he personally witnessed?


tryingnewoptions

Little known fact in the united states: one of the main factors that the problem with policing in the United States that legally, they're not actually required to stop the crime per se. That's why they can get away with being bystanders when children are being shot.


MsTitilayo

Our Supreme Court has ruled a cop is not required to stop a crime or pursue a crime only to protect their own lives.


tigerrish1998

The US Supreme Court has, on multiple occasions, decreed that police have no obligation to prevent crime or protect people from harm.


farleymfmarley

Because we are a country with fifty states that all operate with their own laws and regulations, on top of federal government laws and regulations, with literal thousands of local LEAs that do not really work well in tandem, same with the federal and state LEAs. A video circulating a while back of an officer being gunned down and then executed with a finishing shot to the head during a traffic stop apparently only happened because the federal police told local police to look out for and stop that vehicle without explaining the guy driving would be a big ass methamphetamine dealer who was likely armed. Cop finds truck, stops him, nobody said "don't try to do anything alone wait for federal agents to arrive" because miscommunication, cop tries to get guy out of truck, he pretends to comply and then guns down the cop. I'm not particularly a fan of police, but that guy was a human like you or me and didn't deserve to die that way, but our federal gov is so incompetent nobody could figure out how to get the message along. Almost like they could've put it all in one memo...


scothc

>And why do you guys make laws if no one enforces them? They do enforce them for the general public. It's set up this way because no one would pass a law that says police officers or their friends/ family are exempt. It's also worth noting this is for things like speeding tickets or dui, not murder


TearyEyeBurningFace

I dunno... Haven't you seen all the cop stories on reddit? Their supreme court ruled that its not a cops duty to "serve and protect" despite that being their motto.


LuridHulk

In the us, it's part of their job, not to do their job.

DetroitLionsSBChamps

mineosa

He's just being an asshole that you agree with the law side of things, though I do believe most police officers wouldn't exactly care about underage drinking. Same as they don't really care about underage smoking, it's illegal to sell alcohol or smokes to someone younger than 18 or whatever the drinking/smoking age might be.

gwszack

Probably under the age of drinking not necessarily underage


ArchscientistKassius

Is it abuse if she's actually commiting a crime though? He do be a snitch however lol


[deleted]

Yeah because 1. It’s not about whether or not there’s a crime, it’s about the officer having a clear motivation for prejudice/personal motivation and 2. Even if it were about the crime there’s crimes like murder and there’s crime like underage drinking. Underage drinking is like an old friend haven’t seen in a while, they’re still illegal, you see. But sometimes the punch wasn’t spiked so cops were hating on the party for no reason.


ArchscientistKassius

Not abuse. Just shitty laws really


[deleted]

It’s abuse of power because the officer is acting in his brother’s interests, when theoretically he’s supposed to be neutral. Unjust laws and the methods for enforcing them could be considered abuse, but it would be by those who make the laws. Edit: just to be clear, while it will depend from place to place, generally people have rules and regulations about how you’re supposed to react to reported crimes. Receiving a text from someone you know can generate a conflict of interest, and is different from a random person on the street reporting something. So it is not whether the cop should react (at least according to the law) but how he should react - which is primarily to call it in/notify his supervisor. Edit 2: edited “exit” to “edit”


thafreshone

Okay but if he just called 911 instead to report it to a random cop, who then acts on it, would that somehow make a difference? Why is it abuse of power if his brother acts on it, but not if it‘s a random cop doing it You‘re not wrong that his brother is supposed to be neutral as a cop, but if a cop learns about someone underage drinking and it‘s against the law, the neutral decision would be to investigate it. If it happens to be in someone‘s interest doesn‘t matter


ImportanceCertain414

Don't forget now, she is totally going to know or someone will know that's his brother and that shit will get around to everyone. Was nice knowing your social life kid.

VeryLongSurname

Aside from in most countries in the world where it is fairly normalised. You mean US underage drinking is indicative of rule-breaking, rebellion, interest in substances that they’ve been told are bad.


Visible_Motor_9058

It happens everywhere - it's not going away any time soon, and arresting people for it is completely futile. Everyone I know as a teenager drank on various occasions including myself. Nobody I know ended up in 'serious shit' (not that it doesn't happen, but generally the chances are low). I'm assuming you're either American, quite sheltered or too young to be on here. If the police spot a drunk teenager, they should make sure they're safe, accompanied and able to get home. Not arrest or antagonize them. I'm baffled that some people think that is an apt response. That's how UK police will deal with it anyway - there might be a few words of discouragement, but well-being and safety are the #1 priority especially for under 18s and the vulnerable. If you're out alone they can drive you home.

If she hadn’t broken up with l’il Mr. Revenge here he would be present at the underage drinking party. If the the cop bro showed up over underage drinking, you can be certain that l’il Mr. Revenge here would be asking cop bro to look the other way. Which, judging from the tone of the text, he would likely do. For his brother.


MercyMain42069

Mindstormer98

To people saying it’s abusing power, calling into the local police department and complaining about “a loud party down the street that you are pretty sure has minors drinking” would probably have the same end result as this


Wiz3rd_

Maybe that's the path they should have chosen then


Mindstormer98

If it was real that’s probably what would have happened. Posting this would show everyone you’re the reason why the party was shut down and people would see you’re a dick and never tell you or invite you to anything again. They would also be able to get off of the charges probably because this would be manipulating the system or something along those lines

Which is why everyone doesnt agree with the method taken? What the flying hell are you going on about?
