Remember, police can be called to a party if they receive complaints about excessive noise, the conduct of guests, if the party gets out of hand or if it comes to the attention of police that an offence is being committed. Comply with any directions given to you by police; if you fail to do so you are committing an offence and, if charged and convicted, you could face a significant fine or prison sentence.
If you are asked by the party host or organiser to leave the party, leave immediately without incident. You may commit an offence if you cause or contribute to a party becoming out of control. If charged and convicted you could face a significant fine, prison sentence and you could be ordered by the court to contribute to any costs incurred by police in responding to party.
