Cops caught egging another cop's house are caught by cops - Polidicks

[quote]NEWTON, Mass. — Three off-duty Newton police were caught egging their sergeant’s house by Framingham police in the early morning of Dec. 11. Framingham police were responding to a call that teenagers were throwing eggs at a nearby residence, and drove off in a red car, according to Metro West Daily News. Police stopped the car, where the occupants identified themselves as Newton police, and admitted to egging the house, saying it was a joke between friends. Framingham police spoke to the homeowner, a Newton police sergeant, who said he would handle the matter internally within the department. No charges were filed against the Newton officers.[/quote] There is a video in the source, but its not worth it.

This is some Super Troopers shit.

Elsewhere... Robbers caught stealing from another robber's house are robbed by robbers.

That must've been awkward.

[QUOTE=ccg;39099117]Had they not been police officers they would have been arrested immediately. What bullshit.[/QUOTE] Because it was a joke between friends? If you caught your best friend jokingly egging your house would you call the cops on him and have him arrested or would you handle the situation yourself?

People call the police for the most stupid civil shit.

[QUOTE=Kybalt;39099744][img]http://i.imgur.com/EmUQb.png[/img][/QUOTE]Is there still a thread for these? I miss them so dearly.

egging is a pretty dick move though, since they have to clean the shit off their house.

Actually, the Sgt. probably made them clean the toilets or do shit loads of paperwork or something. :v:

Holy shit I live in Framingham this is hilarious.

It's a Cop 'O Rama!

[QUOTE=areolop;39099924]Except this isnt civil; this is criminal[/QUOTE] It's just some eggs, you aren't getting convicted for shit. Slap on the wrist and on your merry way.

If it was a civil thing, then the cop could just choose to not press charges.

The cop has obviously chosen not to press charges and deal with it internally.

This is a REALLY dick move actually. If you would let your friend egg your house and not make him pay for it somehow, then you're just a bitch. Why would you slap someone on the wrist for defacing something you have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for?

If it was a civil thing, then the cop could just choose to not press charges.[/QUOTE] In the United States we have something called police discretion. Things like this would fall under the realm of police discretion of whether or not to arrest the suspects. While the state is always the one to press charges in non civil cases, for cases like these the victim would have to admit to being a victim for the crime to even exist. If friends egg your house, it isn't a crime unless you say the egging was unwanted. Then the prosecutor can choose whether or not to press charges based on how much evidence is present and how much in the way of resources they believe the case to be worth. It is pretty unlikely to get charged for egging the house of a friend.
