    Default Nuisance party

    our nahbors were having a big party next door, who of which share the same porch as myself and my 3 roomates. we only had about 5 people in our place when the cops knocked on our door and asked who lived in our townhouse. They arrested the 3 of us without hessitation, even when we told them that it was not our party. The cops told us that it didnt matter and that people were coming in and out of our house when they pulled up. we got stuck with a nuisance party violation and went to jail for the night. This to me seems a little harsh for people that were not even having the party, my question to you is... i know the cops have to be called in order for them to call it a nuisance party, therefore, if we can prove that the cops were not called on our apartment and they were called on the other apartmnt, is there a chance that when we see the judge, we would get this dismissed.

    The party next door was over when they arrived? Or did they arrest some of your neighbors as well?

    Was the party organized by the neighbor, but spilled over into your place? You say that there were 5 people inside ... it sounds like you guys may have adopted the neighbors' party. That might make you partially liable.
