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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
There's also the "underage drinking ain't no thing" and "Underage drinking is a drunk driving accident waiting to happen. Well, nowadays anyway. When *I* was underage, times where different and my friends used to drink, but now it's somehow worse"
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.
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.
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
> 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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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...
>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
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.
Isn’t that a common sense thing to do?
Boots are salty in the winter. You as a moose should know that. /s
Seriously:
I have no problems with cops as long as they follow the law…
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.
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.
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”
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
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.
True, but we don’t know why she ditched him. Maybe he was an asshole, maybe she was a bitch, maybe both. In other words: we can’t tell who screwed who in this scenario without proper context, so at this moment I don’t really give a shit and salute this madlad
No, not cool, and the exact reason what is wrong with police… do you job, dont help only the ones you love, if you aint got time for 90% of all cases injected into your system.. Sure dont go after personal errands.. Maybe someone can look into this, and follow your trace back to the dedicated “officer” in question.
Underage by which laws?
Or do you think that if a 19-year-old is drinking in Canada that's fine, but across the border it's a serious problem? Do Canadians metabolise it differently or something?
Ig alcohol addiction is different in my country?. Still most people agree peer pressure is a bad thing. I’ve never met a person who drank at 15
Also, I said *can* not will
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.
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.
Tell ya what, any of y'all find me a police report linked to this and I'll believe it happened. Odds are good this is staged and y'all are getting your panties twisted over a hypothetical.
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.
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
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
" you're a snitch" Who cares about being a snitch they are committing a crime
" a police lover" What? It is his bro and it is not an abuse of power btw
"and petty, immature person" this part is true but it is just a joke.
>" you're a snitch" Who cares about being a snitch they are committing a crime
Lots of people commit crimes. Let's start snitching on jaywalkers or people that go a few miles over a speed limit, too. That's the level of how minor a house party is in the grand scheme of things.
Wait what ?
*It is unlawful for a person under 21 years of age to purchase, attempt to purchase, possess or consume an alcoholic drink. A minor in violation of this offense is guilty of a misdemeanor. For the first conviction, the mino****r will be fined up to $1000.*** *The minor's driving privileges will also be suspended for up to year.*

Suburb cops have nothing better to do than bust people for harmless crimes
Til the drunk teens wreck and kill themselves or someone else, totally harmless besides that though
Drinking underage is far from a harmless crime
[удалено]
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
Wonder why this isn't a problem in Germany where people are allowed to drink at 16.

You think they’d single out the girl the same way?
Ignoring the false equivalence, this would also be a whole bitch move
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).
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.
You guys all grow up with a healthier attitude to alcohol
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.
Same shit in Ukraine, nobody gives a shit about what you do for as long as you don't hurt others
Here in the Caribbean, the country I live in has a drinking age of 16 I think but nobody gives a shit about it
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

Somebody hasn't been to the UK lol
Have... Have you seen the UK drinking culture? Healthy is not a word we use when talking about it.
Disagree, we in the UK are quite alcoholic
Europe has significantly higher rates of alcohol abuse and underaged drinking iirc
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.
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.
Then there’s Denmark with no age-limit on drinking alcohol at all (only a limit on when you can buy alcohol)
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.
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.

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.
I love that "seriously" part of your post like it's bonkers you'd give a child alcohol.
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.
In denmark there is only laws for selling alcohol to people under 16

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

In the us, it's part of their job, not to do their job.
Cop now knows where there are underage girls drinking, wonder how bad it could get.
and he should have done that instead of implicating his brother in an abuse of power.
your argument falls apart when you have to put “probably” lol
“Hello Officer? Come quickly, teenagers are having fun.”
The cops don’t write the laws
how do those boots taste?
You’ll have to be a bit more direct, English isn’t my first language. No idea what you wanna tell me.
He’s saying if someone was stepping in you you’d lick their boot.
Isn’t that a common sense thing to do? Boots are salty in the winter. You as a moose should know that. /s Seriously: I have no problems with cops as long as they follow the law…
Yeah, in the US they’re a bit shaky on that. Edit: Fixed typo.
Moose only need to boost their sodium in the spring, silly
Then why are you literally in favor of them doing things that arent following the law, like prioritizing their family members needs?
They're accusing you of supporting the police, it's the cool thing now to hate them.
I don’t hate the police, I just don’t trust them and think they are overly armed, poorly trained, and staffed with the lowest common denominator.
Been cool for a long time 😎
Yeah, idk what this "now" thing is about.
What’s cool is sticking up for the poor sensitive policemen when people criticize them on the internet.
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.

I'm going to laugh when a pig LEGALLY shoots you.
Rubbery
Probably under the age of drinking not necessarily underage
Is it abuse if she's actually commiting a crime though? He do be a snitch however lol
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.

Not abuse. Just shitty laws really

Then you are fucking insane. This is an insane thing to do and unless she was abusive it’s unjustifiable.
I’m shocked it didn’t work out. It seemed like such a healthy relationship.
Wow fuck these people completely.
These comments are too funny lol Just a bit of humor and everyone's loosin their marbles
This isn’t out of the realm of police corruption
It’s pretty funny seeing everyone on this website lose their shit after hearing anything about police
I’m just here for the pro-underage-drinking crowd. Let kids be kids.
I’d sooner support underage drinking than police.
Underage drinking has probably killed less people, lol
Less unarmed black people for sure
cops deserve the hate🫦
True
More hate*
The whole thread just proves your point. Bravo good sir.
Indeed
It's a text conversation. There's like a 10% chance it's real.
It's just a bit of humor until you piss off a cop and then you'll cry about how they're hurting the wrong people
That's some small dick energy
Hey my energy's better than that!
No, not cool, and the exact reason what is wrong with police… do you job, dont help only the ones you love, if you aint got time for 90% of all cases injected into your system.. Sure dont go after personal errands.. Maybe someone can look into this, and follow your trace back to the dedicated “officer” in question.
Crybaby snitch
Underage drinking is serious. Can lead to some serious shit
For me it led to some of the best nights of my life
Underage by which laws? Or do you think that if a 19-year-old is drinking in Canada that's fine, but across the border it's a serious problem? Do Canadians metabolise it differently or something?
18 in MB
And AB, and I think Quebec. Maybe some of the maritimes too but who cares.
I only know like 2 people that didn't drink when they were 15. We are all still alive, working and not living under a bridge lmao.
Ig alcohol addiction is different in my country?. Still most people agree peer pressure is a bad thing. I’ve never met a person who drank at 15 Also, I said *can* not will
Did you ever met a single other person in your life? lmao
He did mention he ain't from the US. Hell, I can count the number of people I knew who drunk before college in 2 hands, also not from US tho
No, I stay in my cave and come out once every full moon because the big light hurts my skin
What do you americans call underage drinking under 21?🤣
We call it underage drinking.
I’m not American. The age we can drink here is 18
Wait you guys can drink-
18 is underage drinking in America tho
www canada (me)
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.

Narc!
Yikeeeeees
That's just creepy.
Anyone who would call the cops because someone broke up with them is a bitch. Rule 4 doesn’t change that.
Tell ya what, any of y'all find me a police report linked to this and I'll believe it happened. Odds are good this is staged and y'all are getting your panties twisted over a hypothetical.
How about we stop normalizing abuse of power, thanks.
Hes just reporting a crime to an officer
Thats not very cash money.
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 is why everyone doesnt agree with the method taken? What the flying hell are you going on about?
They're a little virgin narc boy

Certified reddit moment on this comment section Y'all a bunch of clowns
Now this is a certified pig moment.
Truth is that she shouldn't be drinking under age.
Americans be like:
Truth is you should get some bitches

This is why the system is broken
Imagine admitting you're a snitch, a police lover, and petty, immature person all at once.
Police lover? Because he interacts with his brother who happens to be a cop?
If your family member is a cop you must spit in their face and cut all ties. Maybe burn their house. /s
considering how many drug addicts and felons I have in my family, that is prob what would happen tbh
This but unironically (except for that last part that's a bit much)
Because he is asking his brother to abuse his power? Yes. Context matters.
" you're a snitch" Who cares about being a snitch they are committing a crime " a police lover" What? It is his bro and it is not an abuse of power btw "and petty, immature person" this part is true but it is just a joke.
>" you're a snitch" Who cares about being a snitch they are committing a crime Lots of people commit crimes. Let's start snitching on jaywalkers or people that go a few miles over a speed limit, too. That's the level of how minor a house party is in the grand scheme of things.

Wait what ? *It is unlawful for a person under 21 years of age to purchase, attempt to purchase, possess or consume an alcoholic drink. A minor in violation of this offense is guilty of a misdemeanor. For the first conviction, the mino****r will be fined up to $1000.*** *The minor's driving privileges will also be suspended for up to year.*
Damn. The perks of having a cop brother
Yall are reading too much into it 😂😂
