cop raids my house, accuses me of being an online poker fraud artist

Adam22 · #1 01-22-2006, 05:53 AM

my room mate had a warrant out for his arrest due to his girlfriend filing some stupid domestic abuse complaint ( she dropped it within a day, they smack each other around all the time ) and so these cops came to my house while i was not there and broke the door down and started accusing my room mate who was there of being an internet poker fraud artist because myself and the room mate who had the warrant both have two monitors set up. he kept yelling about it loudly so that our downstairs neighbor could hear about it before leaving and apprehending their guy at a later date ( all charges were dropped after he conveinently sat in jail for almost 2 weeks ).

the whole thing is funny to me ( and unrealistic. i play 10/20, my room mate plays 1/2 ) but i'm glad that they are sending out cops to bust down doors who also have immense knowledge of internet fraud. that's some good policing.

Dude, you have TWO monitors set up. You must be some kind of criminal mastermind. They should have booked you for planning to hold the UN to ransom with your doomsday weapon.

I prefer intelligence led policing (in all senses of the word).

Let's see, roommate who constantly smacks his girlfriend around and has a domestic violence arrest warrant out against him thinks he should file a complaint when the cops come looking for him, all while you're both performing a dubiously legal activity. This is not going to end well.

Seriously, you're just giving the cops pretext to seize your computer, and when they start searching it, they may find something else, including inadvertent kiddie/teen porn. Does no one ever watch Law & Order?

As someone said above, roommate who attracts cops is definitely -EV. Get rid of roommate. It's tough to 8-table from Rikers Island.

I called them and I plan to call them again.

This isn't even remotely funny. If it was in BBV, maybe a different story. Nice job n00b.

new york city. i don't even know how the cops got in the first door downstairs prior to kicking in our apartment's main door.

my room mate is dead set on filing a complaint and/or sueing the cops but he has to make sure everything is squared away with this case first.
