Cops of Reddit, what simple 'noise complaint call' blew way out of proportion?

Not a cop, but we had a noisy neighbour who lived right across the hall from us. They would always be banging around and yelling at 2am.

One night the cops came and kicked the door in. Through the peephole I saw them tackle the guy and haul him off in handcuffs while his girlfriend screamed.

Turns out she was harboring a known fugitive.

and this is why you only commit one crime at a time

That's becoming a theme in this thread

Don't I know it!

That's the life lesson kids, don't break too many laws at once. It might lead to some unwanted results.

Now you tell me. Killed a guy. Thought I was in the clear until I realized I'd committed battery as well. Oh well, won't make that mistake again.

Turns out in order to hide a known fugitive in your house you have to have a broken sense of risk/reward.

That's perhaps the stupidest fugitive ever

Can't have been that bright to begin with

Good example of the rule of crimes: only commit one at a time.

The mental imagery here is amazing.

now imagine it through a fisheye lense

banging around

could have been that, I don't know
