Oops....

No I havent but SIL went in and didnt remeber the code to get alarm off then they called the house he didnt remember the password so they ended up calling me where I was and I confirmed that he did indead live there lol

That sounded like an intersteing situation. I have not panicied any cops recently and I do think think I ever have in my life. but it does seem they cops do come around when you do not need them. lol.

Not lately, but that is a funny story.

"The last guy that grabbed me can't have children anymore." ROFLLLLLL I LOVED that remarked! No, I don't recall ever freaking a cop out but they sure have freaked me out a few times. Specially when I know darn well I didn't do anything wrong and they pull me over just to say 'thank you for driving safely'. That guy just made my day complete when he said that with a genuine smile. I have 3 safety citations that I keep in my car's wallet in the glove box. They were all handed to me by the sheriff at that. I'm so proud to be able to brag. lol

At leas you know that the Police will attend if anything happens, as long as you don’t have too many false alarms or they will think you’re crying wolf! (LOL) I’ve accidentally set off my house alarm and my big strong protective man slept right though it! When I was working in the bank many moons ago I had a job as a cashier and in those days the alarm could be triggered by pulling out two notes at the same time from two specific clips; if you pulled just one no problem but two would set off a silent alarm that only the Police station up the road could hear internally. I was new at the Branch and I was counting my cash because it was almost closing time and...You guessed it both notes at the same time...Within five minutes the building was surrounded by Police cars and I had no idea that it was me that had instigated it! It was explained to me eventually and I was most embarrassed, what can you do? These things happen!

I bet that was embarrassing. Astonishing how fast they managed to arrive, too. I don't know if this would be freaking out the cops and it's definitely not recent but it is a story I like to tell. When my last son was just becoming a teenager he started staying out late and hanging out uptown until the wee hours of the morning. We lived in a small town so when I would call the cops it was usually one of two who would end up picking him up. This went on for several months and I tried everything I could to get him to follow the rules. These two cops were also trying to help me get him under control. They suggested a night in juvenile detention might do him some good but when they tried to remand him to the detention center they were refused and told to send him home with his mother (me). Finally I got some advise from my minister and I implemented it. When I did my son ran away from home. I knew where he had gone so I knew he was in no danger and after two days I went to fetch him. I took a friend with me because it was dark and I did not want to drive by myself. Well when I got there the lady of the house denied that was there or that he had ever been there. I called her on her lie because my son's pants were hanging on her clothesline. Anyway I went back to the police station and explained what was going on and that I wanted them to make her produce my son. As I explained the circumstances that led up to his being there this one cop who had not been involved in all the trouble up to now said that I couldn't do what I did to my son. He was implying that I had abused him. I stood there for a minute and thought about what I had been through and how long I had been asking for help and not getting any and then I considered all the ramifications of what he said and this is how I replied. "For the past six months Perry and Wesley have had to drag my son off the streets every morning around 2 or 3 o'clock. They have tried to get the justice system to help me get this child under control but no one has been willing to do what should be done. The government has said that parents cannot discipline their kids and the kids know it, and that is what has created this kind of problem. So, I will tell you that I will discipline my child and you will just have to do what you think is best." My friend just knew they were going to put me in jail. I kinda figured they were too but at that point I didn't care. I went home fully expecting the police to knock on my door with a warrant. Later I found out that my friend had called a bail bondsman who was a personal friend of hers and he woke up a judge. I guess that judge explained the facts of life to that cop because I never heard anymore about it.

Wow, exciting! LOL I haven't done anything like that lately but back when I was a mobile home park assistant manager and the managers were on vacation, the alarm went off in the office and the police called and I had to run down there and meet the police officer. He was from the K-9 unit so he had me open the office door and then he let the dog run in to look for bad guys. Turns out the bad guy was the nitwit maintenence man (who happened to be my husband at the time!) who hadn't done the alarm right. He almost got ripped to shreds by the police dog, the only thing that saved him was the door to the swimming pool and the cop yelling at him to shut the door. OMG, now that was awful and embarrasing to admit that NOT-smart person was my husband!!

Well, not something as drastic as that perhaps! Last night, my son and friend Jordon were leaving our house and headed to church to Praise Band Practice. James called me about 10 minutes after they left and said "Mom, we got stopped at a sobriety checkpoint! The sheriff's deputies were doing breath alyzer tests on all drivers coming through. He asked the guys prior to doing the test on James if either of them had been drinking. Jordon pops off and says "Yes sir, I sure have! I drank two cans of Dr. Pepper before I left the house". James said that he thought the deputy was going to fall out on the concrete he was laughing so hard!

I set off the alarm at the policing station once... Man, was it LOUD! They had changed the entry code but not the alarm code. I had the entry code written down on a piece of paper, but when I got inside I completely forgot the alarm code (after almost 5 years!)

LOL Nope, can't say that I have! Your roomie is funny Elic.... We have home security but it's not hooked up with any company right now, I'd love to have it up and working but I heard that if it goes off so many times and the cops show up, we could get fined for it. It was years ago that I heard this so I don't know if it's still true or not but it's the reason why I'm afraid to have it turned on. BTW, it came with the house when we bought it.

Way back in the stone age when I was young, someone tried to come into my apartment through the window and I reacted accordingly. The cop that responded to my call--back then they didn't have to travel in pairs--told me that if it ever happened again, let him get all the way in then protect myself, or drag him in afterwards.

hi elicbxn oh about three years ago I w as still working in'the library when I opened the back door, and went through the' number sequence and everything seemed fine.the alarm was off then five minutes later the fire alarm went off and my hands'were shaking and I misdid it three times so by the time I got it turned off there were three firemen and two paramedics at the front door.I had to go through the whole thing and they sent a repair person to fix the firealarm as it was shorting out thats what set it off. but I tell you I was embarrassed and then my super called and a sked if everything was okay so I had to tell the whole story yet again. he he

Hi Elic, That must have been so very funny, I can just the the cops face with what the roomie said,lol! Tamara
