A recent "Party Patrol" operation executed by the King County Sheriff's office picked up some truly bright individuals for some truly stupid violations of the law.

While the Party Patrol's are explicitly launched to arrest and cite underage offenders, this weekend's operation managed to nab some of those supposedly smart enough to fully understand the law.

"One parent who was called to pick up her son was nearly arrested after she arrived and tried to get deputies out of the home, declaring, "her husband was an attorney," the Sheriff's Office reported." - Seattle P-I

Nice, lady.  Your husband is an attorney, so your child and his friends have the right to break the law?  Tell me if I am missing something here.

But that woman seemed positively bright compared to another group of partygoers that managed to achieve a spot in the "people who should not reproduce" pantheon.

"In one case, two adults, ages 33 and 43, were arrested on felony drug charges after deputies caught them holding a party for teens in the 4700 block of Ames Lake-Carnation Road in northeast King County. Police found ecstasy in the home and sent in an undercover detective who bought marijuana from an unsuspecting 18-year-old, the Sheriff's Office reported."

Those adults should be punished severely.  When will some parents realize it is not their job to be cool, it is their job to set examples.  Hosting a party where ecstasy is present?  I'm going to go with bad example on that one.

But while those parents made a truly poor decision, what that teen that sold the officer marijuana did was almost impossibly stupid.

"The teen brought the marijuana from his car and sold it to the detective despite seeing several uniformed officers already outside the home, Urquhart said."

Nice.  I'm guessing there's a bright future for that young one. 

The Party Patrol was meant for dumb teens.  Looks like dumb adults take the cake on this one.
