"homeland mafia sends me a bill"

At 12 am sharp I turned the noise down and was doing my best to settle things down. At 12:30 am the police arrived in force, 10+ cars insisted that party break up or would proceed to start arresting (that kills a party pretty quick). Ask to come into home (no problem I say). Once inside, I'm asked if they can do search for weapons? I asked why? We have reports of celebratory shots fired in the air I'm told. I would not have done such a stupid thing, nor do I know of anyone that has ever done that. I refused the search and asked the police to leave my house immediately. They did, ten minutes later door bell rings and police officer hands me two tickets, disturbing the peace and failure to cooperate with a police investigation. Went to court pleaded not guilty to both. Get my day in court with lawyer in toll. Police produce records of calls, indeed a anonymous neighbor complained about noise (11:15 pm/Saturday), but there was no record of shots fired. The police were "fishing" for something bigger! Case dismissed, did I win? no I have attorney bill!

You know how I feel about the government I fought for and what they have done to the greatest country that ever existed. I miss it and my heart aches for it every single day.
