I Fought the Law

Jesus broke the law. So did George Washington. You did, too, and we want to hear about it.

A Souvenir

Up -3 Down

When I was a freshman in college, me and my friends were having a party in our dorm room. We were having a good time, getting drunk and planning to go out later to another party. Right before we were about to leave, I was looking for my phone and when I found it, I turned around to see the cops in the doorway. Out of fifteen people that we had over, only three got caught: one of my neighbors and friend, my roommate's girlfriend, and myself. We had alcohol all over the room and we all thought we were screwed. Me and my friend played it cool and answered all of the cop's questions. Since it was my room, they decided to give me a breathalyzer for some reason. I didn't want to argue with them, so I agreed. I still to this day have no idea what I blew, but when I asked, the cop said "It was under what we expected." I don't know what this meant; either they thought I was fine or super wasted. Whatever the case, they decided to just have us dump the alcohol and give us a warning, when we could have as easily have gotten MIPs. As we took the alcohol to the bathroom (it was a community bathroom down the hall), some of our floormates watched us walk with alcohol in hand, giving us a head nod as a sign of respect. The cop also dropped a cap on the breathalyzer that you blow on. When I picked it up, I asked the cop if he wanted it back. He said "You can keep that as a souvenir." When the cops finally left, the three of us got together for a group hug, told what happened to our friends, and then went back to drinking, with me holding up the cap like it was a trophy I won.
