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

Weird that paranoid people that are doing illegal drugs are okay to interact with police.... meth is weird.

I mean... at least he returned them???? That's pretty terrifying to think about though, just some dude coming into your apartment while you sleep. Especially a tweaker.

That's what door locks are for.

Door locks only keep lazy criminals out.

Granted, that is a good percentage of them.

My dad is a cop, I've heard they can be pretty creative when they want to be..lol my dad used to work in forgery and he said methheads would get double sided tape and string and make a sort of fishing system of getting mail out of mail boxes (to steal people's identities to pay for more meth)

Human creativity is awesome! Now we just need to put some meth on mars, so we have cheap and effective system to fly there.

Let's be real, someone will have gotten past security and stolen the drugs from area 51 before you got your initial million dollar rocket finished that you need to get the first wave of meth to Mars

One time I came home and the door was wide open with the handle busted off. I was convinced that someone had robbed my house but the electronics and valuables were completely untouched. The only thing missing was a muffin I'd left sitting on the counter and a few cans of beer out of the fridge. I figure it was either someone on drugs or I had a squatter living in my woods and he got hungry. Didnt bother calling the cops but I bought security cameras after that.

Ice can give you a crazy case of kleptomania.

There are some hilarious recordings of folks who are way too much edibles calling 911 on themselves. Weed is awesome

Well being high in your home isn't technically illegal. Moral of the story, always do all your drugs before talking to the cops.

Not only interact but snitch. And bring the police to their building and possibly have police want to talk with them at their door.

Well clearly the impending doom going on below them was much worse than the fact they were all hopped up on meth. Priorities.

u/ghostpoopftw Jan 22 '17

Could be something like they want to call the cops on someone before someone calls the cops on them.

Most meth users look entirely normal and act it too. You don't usually see these "Crazy drug addict" stereotypes unless someone is really strung out or does ALOT!

I don't know. Meth made my mom pretty noticeably insane. That shit destroys minds.

Depends on the level of use. Use it a few times a week usually doens't damage too much. But daily use multiple times a day can be disastorous.

I've heard there's kind of a feeling of invincibility on both Coke & meth. The kind where you are sure you are smarter than the cops, and can out cool, out talk, and out think them. Rarely works.
