Let’s say I’m in California and I invited a group of people over. They’ve been there all night and I’ve asked them to leave. They just ignore me. I tell them to go away, they refuse, pretend I didn’t say anything. I try to drag them out but they won’t budge.
What would my recourse be? Would I have to call the police?
IANAL but it seems to me that anyone refusing to leave your property may be charged with trespass. Call the police.
I hope the question is hypothetical…or you need a new group of friends.
Bagpipes.
Dp not attempt to invite anything else into your house in order to get them to leave, because then you’ll need to continue inviting increasingly unpleasant creatures into your home until you’re… Screwed entirely.
I thought of the question after an episode of iCarly.
I *love *bagpipes. And based on previous threads we share similar tastes in liquor. What time should I be over? We can watch the Giants in the NLCS together!
In California, you just tell them a therapist is giving free sessions down the street.
Is this a big problem in California, or is it just the people you know?
:rolleyes:

REPEAT
Once again the Family Circus has already addressed this issue
What’s with the rolly eyes? I just assumed he asked about CA to see what that state’s laws would be.
Or raunchy but non-hentai anime. Maybe something from the Tenchi Muyo series.
Real answer: yes, call the cops. Refusal to leave can constitute trespass under California Penal Code 602.
My answer? Country music. Old country music. Seems to clear rooms of unwanted people. Them that stay to listen? They’re good people.
You could always play dead.
This used to happen to my neighbors all. the. time. Like, every Saturday night. (Not in Calif. though.)
Our neighbors’ solution: So at three in the morning they’re out they’re yelling THE PARTY’S FUCKING OVER! GO HOME!
And eventually, the cops arrive to enforce this.
Every week.
Our guests, our solution: “We’re going to bed now. Feel free to sleep on the couch or the floor until you’re sober enough to drive. G’night.”
Just tell them you watch iCarly… that should do the trick.
This.
Always worked for me.
I effing love that show. I’ve seen nearly episode. Easily one of the funniest shows on Nickelodeon (I will also rock out to Taylor Swift).
Lock the booze up and switch the gas off to the oven , not saying you will come down and find no booze left and burning things on the hot plate and people in a terrible state passed out on the breakfast bar, but its a possibilty.
