Teenagers disturbing peace, police won't do anything?
We have two young children that we put to bed around 8:30pm. We have several neighbors with teenagers that gather right in front of our house every night about 9 and get extremley loud. We called the police who showed up 30 minutes later just drove by and told them to quiet down. As soon as the officer drove off they immediately got loud again. I'm fixing to get mad and say something my self...what can I do.
P.S. the parents don't care!
@WhiteSox; This behavior can go on until 11pm or later at times. No the problem is not with me.

Keep calling the cops. They'll eventually get the picture.
If this doesn't happen, kindly go ask them to shut the hell up.
I'm a teenager, and I know if I was bothering someone and someone came out and complained, I'd shut up and tell my friends too as well.

What do you mean by "gather right in front of our house?" Is that like your front yard, or are they just in the area?
It seems to me like the problem has to do with you more. First of all, it's only 9 o'clock. I understand you have kids, but you should not expect people to conform to your lifestyle. You were a teenager once too, remember that. They should have the right to have some fun and I believe that at around 9 o'clock is fine. Once it gets past 11, I can understand your gripe, but remember, you are not the only person who lives in the neighborhood.
Also, before calling the police, have you ever done anything about it? Have you even spoke to the kids? It doesn't seem like you have. And by the way, "speaking" with the kids is not just telling them to be quiet. You should make the effort to discuss with them your actual issue and politely ask for them to keep quiet. That's all. Teenagers aren't bad people like a lot of people make them out to be.
Thirdly, calling the cops seems a bit far. It's fine to call cops if they are unruly, but like I said, that gives you a terrible reputation with the teenagers and could make them more loud. It does NOT seem like they are unruly. It seems like you've made little effort to accommodate them and to actually be on good terms with them.
Like I said, I do believe the problem seems to be you in this case. I'm not trying to insult you, just telling it like I see it.
----------------------------
When they are out past 11pm still making noise, no, the problem is not with you. But in your case, it was an issue with you that they are out at 9pm, a completely reasonable time.
Also, like I mentioned above, I believe you did not take the correct course of action by calling the police. Please do read the advice above about actually speaking with them.
The reason I believe that the issue is with you (and NO, it's not an insult) is because you seem to view the teenagers as unruly people......as if they are enemies and lesser beings. It's like that viewpoint of an older gentleman always complaining about the younger generation of kids and how "things just aren't the same." Calling the cops on them is NOT the right answer.

It relies upon on the regulation the position you stay. In some jurisdictions, firing a weapon, even a BB gun, is prohibited - even if it is on deepest sources or no longer makes no distinction. Your brother could examine the regulation previously he violates it. (And on your advice, a BB hitting someone contained in the right position CAN blind or kill. If she might want to be sure him firing it, he might want to have shot her - she replaced into of route above the accurate of the wall. yet a shot fired above the wall WILL land someplace outside your sources.)

You call the cops, and you tell them you confronted the kids over the noise, and that they threatened you with weapons.
That aught to do it...
