Picture this: a group of 13 and 14-year-old girls dressed in 70 and 80s gear are bopping on a Brisbane verandah last Saturday night when they get a surprise visit.

It’s two officers in police uniform. No, it’s not the Village People. It’s the Queensland Police Service on noise patrol, just before 8pm in inner Brisbane on a Saturday.

They demand the homeowner produce 100 points of identification and decline his request to discuss the complaint away from the girls who can’t help but stare at the interruption to their wonderful and innocent teenage night out.

There’s no boys. No alcohol. No drugs. No swearing. No fighting. No hooning. Not a single smashed glass.
