SWAT Team Breaks Up Noisy Gaming

Danish cops temporarily arrest gamers on "suspicion of mayhem."

A pair of gamers in Copenhagen, Denmark found that playing too loudly can be hazardous, reports Qj.net (viaGamePolitics). A 21-year-old and his friend were playing an unspecified PlayStation 3 game -- presumably a shooter -- when a concerned neighbor called the police, mistaking the sounds for real gunfire. A Danish SWAT team was dispatched to the scene, which you'd think would be reserved for cases where actual guns are confirmed in the area. They called for the two men to surrender, which the gamers promptly did. They were arrested on "suspicion of mayhem," but then released after a search of the apartment found no guns.

So let that be a lesson to those of you living in apartments with amazing sound systems. Turn the volume down, or a confused neighbor might call the fuzz on you.
