Huh?

In europe when the police comes to a loud party, they come and tell the people to please be more silent. (And if it is just minor kids, ask for a adult) So if the party dispersed in panic before they even arrive .. problem solved fpr them?

Or does the US police busts loud parties gun blazing in general?

Nah, but lots of these parties have kids below than 21 (or whatever the legal drinking age is). So they get fined or arrested if caught so they leg it.

A friend attended a Chicago-suburb high school for a year (exchange student). Said he had to run from cops at private parties about a handful of times in that year, and that it was pretty normal in his group.


Many times they’ll take an interest in underage drinking or recreational drug use, which the party attendees might prefer they didn’t get tagged for.


Also depends on which neighborhood and whose house it is.
