So the police broke our window tonight...
Three of us came back from a jolly long night on the piss (started at 1pm) and proceeded to generally arse about on our rooftop (overlooking a main street).
At some point a barbecue and deck chair ended up on the street below and someone (albeit understandably) called the police.
We were completely mashed by this point and had proceeded to pass out in our own beds only to be awoken by police with flashlights.
They were extremely reasonable and only requested that we clean up our mess on the street below, however we now have to fork out the fee to have our window repaired - fair consequences i suppose for us being complete and utter mong chops.
Anyway, that was my night. How was yours?

Re: So the police broke our window tonight...
Really? Is that not acceptable behaviour on their part?
I admit i've had a few too many G&Ts so my judgement may be impaired, but they said the reason they broke our window and gained entry into our house was that they 'suspected a domestic'.
I was under the assumoption they were quite reasonable, am i wrong?

Re: So the police broke our window tonight...
They are fine to break your window - I'm guessing they knocked and got no reply? You will be able to claim the money to pay for it from them. They should have left you with a contact number, otherwise go to your local station and have a word. You are lucky - many police officers would just break down the door, which invariably means breaking the frame (if you have decent locks) which would have been a far bigger pain in the arse for you.

Re: So the police broke our window tonight...
Can we really do that? (bill them that is)
Excuse my ignorance in this subject but to be fair i haven't the foggiest when it comes to the law.
They did indeed knock and get no reply.
And Gin is the drink of choice, a place that doesn't serve a good G&T will be vacated by me posthaste!

Re: So the police broke our window tonight...
Yeah that shouldn't be a problem. Like I say just go to the station and have a word.

They didn't. They are allowed to do that if there is no answer.

Re: So the police broke our window tonight...
If a burglar knocked and got no reply, then proceeded break your window and enter your house, that would be breaking the law.
But if the Police do it, that is ok!
It is little wonder he turns to the bottle.
Do you prefer Lemon or Lime?

I'd say there needs to be more reason than just "there was no answer".
One imagines that if the police believe certain types of crime (e.g. potential violence) are being committed they can enter (it'd be pretty strange if they couldn't enter your house if they thought you were being murdered, for instance). However, these sort of excuses can always be manufactured after the event. Hell, even the housing management staff I work with have tales of forcing entry illegally (in the older, wilder days of local authority control) to properties (obviously not when people are in) and then saying they smelt gas (in one case, in a property which turned out not to have a gas supply) and thought emergency repairs were necessary ot something. People often act illegally, they simply rely on the people on the receiving end of such behaviour to not put up too much of a fuss.

If he smelt gas coming from a house without a gas supply no wonder he was worried!
PS If you'd all gone to bed and all around was quiet and nothing was stirring not even a mouse why did they suspect a domestic? Maybe they thought you were suffocating each other!

In a proper country your neighbour would have shot you for throwing things off the roof in the early morning.

I was only informing you of U.S. law so you would know it when we invade your country and assimilate you into our culture.

Re: So the police broke our window tonight...
You might try getting it right if you are going to inform people of US law. In this case it would be called exigent circumstances which would allow the police to LAWFULLY enter the house. The exigent circumstance would be a fear that someone had been assaulted and injured in the abode. Items, one of sufficient weight to cause harm, were ejected over the side of the roof and onto the street. I am sure that the throwing of the objects was part of a rather noisy interlude in which neighbors may have become, justifiably, concertned for the safety of the inhabitants.
What if a group of goons had gotten access to the house and were beating the shit out of the inhabitants and the police, having been called, showed up and knocked at the door and gotten no answer. Then said to themselves, "Oh well, quiet enough now, let the barbeque and chair be. Let's head out for a doughnut." Meanwhile, inside the house, poor Phalon was bleeding to death from a knife wound inflicted in the row. The police would have been criticised for NOT entering and finding out what was going on, thus causing an upstanding (albiet a gin drinker and thus frequently having trouble standing up) to die unnecessarily.

Re: So the police broke our window tonight...
I fail to see how a BBQ and chair being thrown from a ROOF could possibly lead to assault, or for that matter ANYTHING besides drunken behavior.

Re: So the police broke our window tonight...
I've seen a mini ram into my next door neighbour's front door. I've also seen a police car strike down a woman while on a chase which later lead to her death on my street, few houses away. The police were 'very sorry for the accident'.
Welcome to the shithole that is East London.
