Hey guys!
After my long journey starting this past November I have (basically) a complete DJ setup! Laptop, Traktor Pro 2, Vestax Vci-100SE, V-moda headphones, (gonna pick up a soundcard real quick on ebay soon), and behold... I am getting a used in great condition matrix b-52 1000v2 pa system! FOR ONLY $300! And to think I almost paid $500 for a really crappy beat up one a month ago.
So Anyway I am 18 and about to graduate high school in a month. I won't be spinning until after I graduate but I will most likely have a ton of gigs to do like friends grad parties, birthday parties and... underage drinking parties that have no parents at them.
I'm not gonna lie, I will still dj underage drinking parties almost no matter what people say here because the truth of it is that if I wasn't dj'ing the party, I would be there drinking anyway. I am perfect with resisting drugs/alcohol when I need to (such as driving, early wake up) and I told myself that I would not be drinking while I mix.
Our law enforcement is pretty lax with things like teen parties, as long as there's no complaints from neighbors or passer-by-ers. They have never (knock on wood) busted into a house starting arresting people. That isn't to say they aren't strict. Early in the year they busted a party (someone called in a complaint) and arrested 30 minors from my school at once. Another neighboring city had a party busted (don't know the reason) and the cops there arrested nearly 80 minors on new years eve!
So the parties that I would be at are always pretty small; usually around 20 or 30 but some go up to 50 or so. But I was wondering what (in your opinion) the ramifications are if a party I was dj'ing at, got busted by the local police. If I blew zero's and didn't get called from a noise complaint what would they charge me with? I'm guessing possession bc they are supposed to do that by law, but do you think there's a chance their mindset is "okay here's a good sober kid, only providing an entertainment service to everyone, really not causing harm." Or would they just group me with the rest of the chums?
I have never gotten in trouble before (knock-knock) and I am graduating at the top of my class, so the community knows that I have good intentions. Just hoping they would give me a warning if something like this did happen; opinions?
