Wait, I'm confused too... simply having a party at a house is against the LAW??

Sorry but your thoughts on probable cause are wrong. And coming from a former police officer, I can clearly state that probable cause goes much farther than the few things you mentioned.

Well I am no former police officer,and stand corrected.
I do know that probable cause is a huge grey area that police use to abuse peoples rights on a daily basis.
Thats what lawyers are for.

I am not trying to say that all police do this by any means.
I do think that as a police officer it is impossible to know every nuance of the law concerning every situation.So it is a lot of times easier for them to use what they can in order to get an arrest in a situation and then let the courts sort it out.
I also agree that our laws in many instances are set up to protect criminals.

To answer a few things, the exact charge for my 3rd misdemeanor was "Open House Party". Also, with said comments about college and such, I am currently enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. My shipdate is June 28th, but I have yet to inform my recruiters about what happened.

Wow, I am really stupid, I just looked a post I made while I was drinking last night with some people, some close friends who were trying to make me feel better, and well, I sounded dumb in that post, so just ignore that post. I just said "post" alot, hmmmm, anyway. Thank you SHartley and everyone else, I feel a little better about the situation.
