Canadian cops RSVP to a party and bring Doritos and salsa - Polidicks

[url]http://www.dailydot.com/lol/canadian-cops-underage-party-doritos/[/url] [QUOTE]After getting wind of a boozy blowout for high schoolers on Saturday evening thanks to a public Facebook event posting, a Lumsden, Saskatchewan detachment of Royal Canadian Mounted Police thoughtfully RSVP’d, promising to bring chips and salsa—as well as a lecture about underage drinking. [QUOTE=Saskatchewan RCMP Facebook Page]Thanks for the invite to the underage frosh party in the ‪#‎Lumsden‬ area on Saturday night. Lumsden ‪#‎RCMP‬ will bring chips and salsa and a choice of possible charges for the party goers, including: • Open liquor - $250 • Underage drinking - $360 • Littering – $250 • Providing liquor to a minor - $1050 Or you can make the smart choice and avoid meeting our officers! Stay safe. ^mm[/QUOTE] True to their word, the cops showed up with Doritos and McDonald’s packets of salsa (just the sort of unholy cheapo junk food pairing kids crave). It seems the party went on—with some alcohol and parental supervision—plus a few photo-ops, without any charges filed or fines levied.[/QUOTE] [t]http://cdn0.dailydot.com/uploaded/images/original/2015/9/21/Screen_Shot_2015-09-22_at_10.57.17_AM.png[/t]

Doritos and salsa?

Absolute winners. Easiest way to both score points and help keep kids safe. Well played.

now thats community outreach

AFAIK underage drinking in Canada is legal within a private home so long as the homeowners consent/supervise. All of my high-school house parties were at the house with the "cool parent" so we never had to ever deal with cops.

Cue your older borther/sister suddenly being the best person ever and following you to the store to buy the booze to your party. Then there were the kids like me who could just waltz right into a liqour store and buy a pack of cigarettes and vodka without the store owner even batting an eye.

[QUOTE=AtomicWaffle;48792369]AFAIK underage drinking in Canada is legal within a private home so long as the homeowners consent/supervise.[/QUOTE] it is actually like that in many US states as well just not many people know that. some states even allow underage kids alcohol in restaurants as long as it is with parental consent and a meal although you'll probably never see a restaurant that will let you do that

You as a parent or Guardian not homeowner can give alcohol to your own underage child or spouse, not any other person who is not our child or spouse. "If you are a parent, guardian or spouse of a minor you may provide liquor only to your child or minor spouse in the privacy of your home. This exception does not allow you to provide liquor to any other minors who may be in your home."

McDonalds salsa packets? What the fuck, Canada?

They each asked him his name and he gave a different name each time. Because he wasn't drinking the alcohol, there was nothing they could do but they gave him a ticket for lying to the police. Then he said "uh... he sold it to me!" and pointed to the liquor store so they walked off and left him alone

Kids are still stupid enough to post underaged parties on social media. When are they going to learn. It's been a decade and kids still don't realize the police use social media to bust people.

Though I haven't used my Facebook account for 2-3 years, I remember the dumb shits who would post tier underage parties. I particularly remember girl (age 16) who even posted a picture of 10+ handles of liquor that she had for the party. Shit got busted and then she complained via Facebook that the cops stalk her and spy on her.

[QUOTE=Camdude90;48795607]most cops aren't going around setting up sting operations to bust 16 and 17 year olds partying[/QUOTE] You kidding me? It happens all the time! Especially when I was in highschool, every weekend there would be busts at house parties. This is an extremely common occurrence and this is made extremely easy with police monitoring facebook. If you think they don't actually do this you're mistaken. I mean they have even released statements saying they do this.

When we were younger and underage and Police caught us drinking in the park. All they'd do is make us pour away our opens. Occasionally if an underage house party got too loud they'd just move everyone on.

[QUOTE=inebriaticxp;48793017]McDonalds salsa packets? What the fuck, Canada?[/QUOTE] All McDonalds have them, as they come with the sausage burritos.

That's cool and all but can we talk about how they brought Doritos to dip? Just get a few bags of dollar corn chips

Doritos and salsa sounds like a tragedy. Like I know it is Canada, but Doritos are hardly tortilla chips.

IIRC, Doritos in Australia have a plain flavor that's pretty much just tortilla chips. Maybe it's the same for other Commonwealth countries.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;48797257]IIRC, Doritos in Australia have a plain flavor that's pretty much just tortilla chips. Maybe it's the same for other Commonwealth countries.[/QUOTE] I can confirm that this is not a thing in Canada. Doritos we have here are basically the same thing you have in the states.

I know for graduation in edmonton, alberta we have a thing called safegrad. Basically a parent offers up their remote back yard to host a parent supervised party. They drive everyone home whether they drink or not, provide food, music, dance tent, and shitters. Basically, when you graduate you're gonna drink and party anyways so its better if its done and organized so its safe. No hassle from the police or anything.

I wanna live in Canada.... It always sounds so friendly

[QUOTE=Moreto;48797362]I can confirm that this is not a thing in Canada. Doritos we have here are basically the same thing you have in the states.[/QUOTE] They have (or at least had) plain Doritos in the US.

[QUOTE=inebriaticxp;48793017]McDonalds salsa packets? What the fuck, Canada?[/QUOTE] Fast food places here have packets of everything. Ketchup, vinegar, hot sauce, salsa, you name it there's a packet.

I've definitely seen the plain doritos in US stores before but its not a typical product.

Cops in my hometown were pretty relaxed about situations like this as well. When Project X came out, a shitload of teens thought it'd be a great idea to recreate similar parties. This led to idiotic event announcements, which alerted the police, who really just ended up standing by the party making sure everyone had a ride home at the end of the night along with a quick lecture.
