More often than you may realize, cops have to deal with situations
which
involve no violation of the law. But, smart cops show up anyway
because
they
know that if they don't, they'll have a REAL problem on their hands
otherwise.

You may want to ask a cop about this next thing, but I know you're not
too
keen on getting involved with your local public servants.

Forget hostage situations. Forget armed robbers. Forget bomb scares.
What
is
the most dangerous and unpredictable situation for which cops are
called
regularly? Hint: 99% of the time, it initially involves no laws being
broken.

"Disturbance" calls.

Hey! You blew it! Dave Hall was supposed to guess this one. :-) Then, he
was
supposed to explain to us why a cop should show up at someone's house just
because the neighbor heard yelling, something that's not illegal. Finally,
he was going to tell us why, if nothing illegal was going on, do these
situations turn ugly. Sort of like this one:
