Florida cop responding to noise complaint joins neighborhood basketball game

Jan 22, 2016

A Gainesville, Florida police officer arrived on a residential street earlier this month to check out a noise complaint and ended up joining the kids playing basketball.

An anonymous caller filed the noise complaint January 15, saying the kids were playing basketball “loudly” in the street outside around 5 P.M.

When Officer Bobby White responded, he decided that clearly there was no crime being committed, so he might as well join in the fun, reports Deadspin.

For about ten minutes, according to the video captured on his dash cam, the officer played basketball with the kids and even lowered the rim, so that he could dunk before leaving.

On his way back to his cruiser, White asked the kids if they would be around the following day — he would bring backup.

We’re pretty sure this is the best noise complaint response the Internet has seen in a long time.
