Official Party Crashers
Written by Pat's Papers | Tuesday, 27 July 2010 9:38 AM
They’re state-sanctioned party crashers. The Las Vegas Review-Journal says the police department has created a special unit to deal with teen parties. Officials claim the task force is necessary because teens have gotten so good at planning alcohol-laden events. One technique to elude the authorities is to send out a fake address via text. When partygoers arrive, they pay a fee and are given the real address. Sometimes the technique fails but teen hosts that’ve been busted say it’s not so bad to have a party officially crashed: “They were really nice about everything. It wasn’t aggressive or disrespectful in any way. They were like, ‘No one’s going to jail. Just be up front and honest, and go home.’”
