Report: Google alert tips park security to 'mountain of booze'



A group of Fort De Soto Park campers who had shared their party plans, including a video of a 'mountain of booze,' on the Internet was cited for trespassing after a park volunteer received a Google alert that included their video, the Tampa Bay Times is reporting.

Before the party started, someone in the group filmed a picnic table stacked high with beer and alcohol and uploaded it to YouTube — with the campers' names and the location of the party, the website said.

seemingly applies in spades. I guess this is what comes of posting so many details of daily life on FB and the internet.

12. Reminds me of a time when a cop arrived at our high school hang-out spot.

It was a court that hadn't been developed yet and was fairly well hidden. Someone called about the music. When we saw the cop we all filed to the back of one of the cars to drop off what was left of our six packs (cans of cheap shit, of course). Someone fucked up and left one in plain view in front of that car. The cop got out walked over and picked up the can and said, "Is anyone here 18?" The only ones who were knew better than to admit it. He walked to the back of the car (probably saw where we stashed the beer as he came down the court road) and popped the top to the beer. "Well, it looks like I'm just going to have to pour this out," and proceeded to pour it all over the rest of our beer. He told us to keep the music down and left. We were all scared shitless, but you have to admit that cop was cool.
