Teen's bill for a wild party? Cops say $18,000

[SUBMAN1]

Ouch! Police are going to charge this kid for simply doing their job? Last time I checked, this kid already paid the bill through his taxes.

The kid is sixteen. How much taxes do you reckon he's paid again?

How much resposnsobility will they be laying on the kid?
Were guests on the road when the cars were damaged etc?(500 in a house is quite a bit.) Private or public propety?
Is there a law telling one how many people one can have at a party? How does it work if the people causing the s***, were unkown to him?
... or for that matter what if patrons from a bar go out and cause damage (ala football fans). Basically how much was he able to do when it got too large?
An idiot for posting on the net!
Don't get me wong i think he should be punished , but will they have a hard time getting a fine passed?

There are laws in Australia in regard to parties ,which is why the Police got called in the first place , then Numbnut's and his mates decided to attack the Police and have a riot for fun, so there's now a whole bunch of other charges he can get hit with

I'm reminded of the theme from Baretta:

"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time..."

Hit the bugger with a labour intensive job and make him jand over ALL his wages until he has paid full reparation for everything

Plus,you have to pay the police if you wanted them to provide security for an event with 500 guests. I guess they consider this much the same situation.

If the police have to provide traffic control for a construction project, that cost will be paid by the construction company not the local taxpayers. Of course the taxpayers would still end up paying for this in the end.

And given his stinking attitude I think it is fair to assume that he hasn't worked a day in his short little life. I hope the parents teach the kid a few hard lessons. What a little a hole.

If you violate the law and the police must chase and arrest you, and you get sentenced for a financial penalty - you still must pay it and pay compensation for the damage you did although you may have payed taxes. If yyou alarm the fire brigade or an ambulance for fun, you will be charged for the costs of the show.

If you mess it up, you pay for it.

Of course the parents have the legal responsibility for their offspring as long as he is not adult, and so will need to pay. Nevertheless, there should be a penalty for the kid as well that provides him with the needed sufficient "aversive stimulus" and a penalizing effort that he can shoulder with his probably limited abilities (as long as he is not rich daddy's golden boy and already has a pocket money of 10.000 bucks per month - then he should pay the fee all by himself).
