Calling The Cops over PDA?
Okay. So I've never been one of those kids who will make out in movie theatres and all that jazz. I've only held hands with my crush once. And yet I am a firm believer that PDA is okay. I mean, if you can't take out a girl and show the world that you like her just by holding her hand, I think you have some problems. I feel that it shows you are embarrassed by her instead of showing her off like you really love that you are with her. But you have to ask yourself when PDA is going too far? Yeah, I know you can't just have sex in the middle of a club, but it happens. So where should the line be drawn from private and public? I mean the old rule "if you wouldn't do it if your dad was watching" isn't so applicable. I find making out in the back row of the movie theatre acceptable as long as you're not disrupting others. Come on, it's not that big of a deal.
Just the other day my friend across the street (same age as me - a 17-year-old girl) was making out with some guy in a car parked in front of the house next to her. Nothing more than making out. And yet the owner of the house wanted to call 911 to report "suspicious activity". Really? I don't care who you are, but at one point in your life you are probably gonna do something like this. My mom feels that it was okay for the neighbor to call the cops because it was the neighborhood where she lived. Did my mom see it? No.
The neighbor went all over and told everyone that my friend had been making out in a car for 45 minutes. Let me tell you now, teenagers don't do that. We have curfews; why would we waste 45 minutes making out by our house with some guy our parents don't know when we could be far away from the mall making out? That's besides the point.
So do you think the neighbor was justified in calling the cops? I think that it would be tying up the phone line from people with real emergencies. I think it would be wasting our tax dollars to tell you the truth. Or do you think she was just being nosy?

That's totally not cool of the neighbor to call the cops. It'd be different if like, two people were doing it on their lawn. In that case, calling the cops would be necessary.
definitely not cool. and yes it is a waste of tax money... like really? you're gonna call the cops over something so simple like that?
He only called the cops because it was turning him on and he knew he'd rape her if the cops didn't get there fast.
I wouldn't think it was such a big deal if I saw a couple making out, as long as it wasn't like a dangerous place/trespassing or what not.But 45 minutes sounds loooong for making out, lol.
If I saw a couple of people in a car parked in front of my house after dark for longer then 10 minutes, yeah I would call the police. (I'll assume it's dark with the mention of curfew). You can't see into the car to see what they are doing, just know that there's a car there with people inside, who may be talking, making out, planning on breaking into a house or vadalizing, selling or using drugs, etc.
If it was the boyfriends car, the neighbor may not have recognized it and short of going out there and tapping on the window (which has the risk of getting you SHOT in certain neighborhoods) the safest way to handle it is to have a police officer come check it out then handle it in the way it needs to be.
That is the perspective of a police officer's wife.
LOL if it was obvious they were making out that's just retarded...
I'd call the cops. If you want to give little kisses and hold hands, I understand. But to some people it's offensive to be making out where everyone can see you. I personally would be disgusted. It's childish, but at seventeen, in most cases, you are still a child.
Calling the cops is a bit much in my opinion. If you don't want to see it, don't stare at them through your front window. Too much would be them attempting to have sex with clothes on. Kisses, holding hands, etc, unless they're y'know, isn't harmful.
some people are just highly conservative and dont like seeing that XD
i wouldnt call the cops though, seems too irrational
I don't know, kind of depends on how obvious it was what was going on.
Being NOSY to me would have been the neighbor out there looking in the car and knocking, if the couple was parked in front of that house and not the teenagers house then technically the neighbor was also within their rights.
that was a pretty bitchy move on the neighbor's part.
Calling the cops... overkill. Definitely... what, she thinks the police have nothing better to do than talk to kissing teenagers? Sheesh...
Isn't that picture a scene from the movie The Zodiac?! You know, when the psycho guy kills the lovers?
I think it was a bit too drastic. She doesn't own the street :/ and it's not as if she's being forced to watch the PDA.
But if she had children that she wanted to protect, (who are trying to get a peek) then I'd understand.
She wasted the cops time.
Well if she said "suspcious activity," chances are she really can't see into the car all that well. If it's dark and in the suburbs, I'd totally understand. I assume your friends in the car didn't have the light on, and therefore the neighbor probably saw figures moving inside the car but couldn't make out what was going on. So...it really depends on whether the neighbor knows what was going on. If s/he did, yeah that's a little drastic...if not, she's just trying to be safe.
And PDA is fine as long as it's not too much. Holding hands and hugging should be encouraged, and a kiss or two is cute, but hardcore making out and grinding on each other is not cool. There are some things that are better done in private...
She was probably just jealous because she can't get any.
@Dare2BDiferentt@xanga - You're probably right.
The neighbor is just being nosy. They were making out in a CAR, not in the middle of a crowded street. Unless the girl's in trouble or something, that's a completely different story. I just think making out anywhere that's crowded is RUDE, well, for me in my opinion.
@xa06@xanga - Ha it is indeed. Since I don't really see any point in discussing whether the neighbor was right or wrong (considering the fact that no matter which is the "correct" answer there's nothing anyone can do about it, and usually the point of these posts is to offer some kind of advice to a person), this is definitely my favorite comment on here.
Stupid prude. Seriously, they're allowed to show kissing on TV during shows that kids watch. If the kids can take it, why can't he/she?
I would be annoyed...
So he's trying to say he watched them make out for all those 45 minutes? Doesn't that sound stalkerish in itself?
if it bugged him that much he shoukd have just knocked on the car window and kicked em out
If she really can't see into the car and the unfamiliar car is parked there for a long time, then she might have just been scared. She called the cops to be "better safe than sorry." Well, there had been too many news of crazy, dangerous situations happening nowadays and people are paranoid. I understand that.
In the past I was totally against PDA, except for holding hands, but now that I have a bf, that kinda changed (hugging is ok). If that couple had wanted to make out, a more private place would be better. I mean dating and falling in love is between two people, so you don't necessarily have to display your intimate love life to the world. Sure you can hold hands, hug, walk with arms around shoulders/waist in public. However kissing and making out, should be more private.
