The idiotic posts here like "In America, you can't have a beer in your own home" or the idiot post above "Is it illegal to hold a party in your own house?" are tilting me.
On another note, before your next wild house party please read the following so that you are prepared for a visit by the local cops on a noise complaint:

this sort of experience (police breaking down doors to get to a party) is so incredibly outside my frame of reality that i don't understand why this happened.
can you please explain for a foreigner like me?

Well, I'm not a lawyer, but I know to enter the house, via kicking in a locked door, for example, they would need a warrant signed before a judge who has found probable cause.
There are a few exceptions, such that if they see a crime being committed in plain sight (a minor consuming alcohol ie). I am not here to justify the police action in this case, we do not know all the facts, and EM2 can hire a lawyer to pursue possible police misconduct if he chooses to do so. Neither do I agree with the 21 drinking age, but it is the law.
My only objection is to posts such as 'America sucks' because its "illegal to hold a party in your own house." This is just plain stupid.
