So one day my dad, my two brothers, and me were at our beach house. We were doing lots of yard work; pressure washing, lawn mowing, chainsawing stuff. Anyways we lots of stuff to do and very little time.
So next door to us is a big house / resort type place where they have lots of weddings. That day there was a wedding and we were making lots of noise. The neighbor came over and said to my dad "can you please be quiet we are having a wedding". My dad said "Sorry but no. We come up here only once every couple of months and we lots of work to do". He left and came back 20 min later and said ''If you don't stop I will call the cops". My dad responded "Okay that is your right to do so". As this is happening my mom is shaking her head in dismay and embarrassment. And I am thinking oh crap my dad is going to jail. About twenty minutes later a cop pulls down our driveway and gets out to talk to my dad. The officer asked my dad to stop and wait for wedding to be over before we start work again. My dad without pausing told the cop "Sir they are using amplified sound outside their building. That is against the ordinances around here. Could you ask them to be quiet"... The cop just stared at my dad and said, "Okay I will do that.. have a great day".
He left and we started making a lot of noise again.
That day I was so proud of my dad. And knew that knowing the law is probably one of the best weapons I could have.
Has anyone else had a similar story as a civilian or LEO.
