Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Yep.

TV and the movies rarely portray law enforcement (or anything else for that matter) in a realistic manner. Even the so-called reality shows are heavily edited to present what the network wants to show you.
As for their reasoning...well it all revolves around $$$. The better the story, the more viewers they get. More viewers = more advertising dollars. Everything on TV is about making money. That is the reason why "news" programs are sensationalistic rather than objective.

I'd call the PD and let them know I was the homeowner and had accidentally set off the alarm. That way the officers know to expect someone when they get there. I would wait for them outside, and I would have a driver's license (or other ID with my address) to show them I was the homeowner.

Most 18 year olds are considered an adult. You can still be reported as a missing person.
If you want to avoid problems, you should act like an adult and tell your parents that you are fine, but you have moved out.
If you fall into a variety of special categories (such as under court order), you might not be able to move out. Chances are you would know if one of those applied to you.
If you have additional questions, you should contact an attorney or the local law enforcement agency.

Do you catch less marijuana at the border now that it's being decriminalized in some States?
Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
Share Answer: 
It should not be a major issue. Make sure you are honest about the incident when applying. Any attempt to conceal or minimize the incident will indicate a lack of honesty. Questions about honesty will absolutely destroy your shot at being hired.
Share Answer: 
Children drinking alcohol is a really bad idea. I'd suggest avoiding being where kids are drinking, and talking with your parents if you have any questions about what actions you should or should not take.
