Cops at Carolla house

[Hollywood]

Cops raced to the Hollywood Hills home of radio host Adam Carolla early this morning -- GUNS DRAWN -- after someone (or something) tripped a panic button in the house ... but TMZ has learned, it was a false alarm.

Adam's alarm company notified the cops of a possible intrusion around 1:15 AM -- and officers responded to the scene in full force, carrying a wide array of weapons ... including an awesome-looking green beanbag shotgun (non-lethal).

So Rogan gave him pot brownies the last time he was on and Adam was hilucinating, or he was drunk and grazed it while avoiding an end table. Only two possibilities.

[Fuckface]

Was the panic button covered in tape with chicken scratch writing that said panik butn?

I thought the cops had a rule about not showing up to his house.

But he pays so much in taxes and the cops never show up

I think this seals it that when Lybigtits called the cops when the drunk driver plowed into their gate she was just too dumb to convey what was going on

A couple things. First, this situation is totally different than the house collision. With 911 calls, the dispatcher can pre-screen the call and decide whether something is an emergency, or if a dispatch is even needed at all. Guess what Adam, a drunk doing a little property damage to a rich dude's wall probably isn't a "no time for backup" situation.

The panic button, on the other hand, is specifically designed for situations where the homeowner is not able to communicate via the standard alarm company communication system, like a home invasion or a serious injury. Therefore, when the button is triggered, the alarm company doesn't wait to investigate and immediately contacts the LAPD that it is an emergency situation. No option to pre-screen and yes, when they need to be, the LAPD is very responsive.

I remember once, my dad accidentally dialed 911 in the middle of the night. Because he was asleep and silent, the 911 dispatcher immediately sent a unit to our house. LAPD arrived within minutes and began banging on the door.

"Who screens these calls?!"

Dude, I know, that's why I exaggerated it that way. In HS a friend of mine's dad was the head of City of Hope and they were having crazy negotiations with the janitors and there were death threats. One dude stayed behind to presumably watch porn when we went out egging, teepeeing, slurying, causing general suburban mischief - he hit the panic button by accident, when we got back the swat team had the area roadblocked had him on his back with m16s, oozies and other tactical automatic weapons trained on him and the guy who lived in the house had face paint on and a goofy hat explaining that the white 17 year old in a football tshirt was in fact a white 17 year old that he played football with.

Quoted from the .30:

UPDATE:
10:15 AM PT -- Adam's rep tells us he accidentally hit the wrong button while setting his house alarm. When the alarm company called, Adam says he didn't hear the phone ring ... so the cops came.

This is GOLD!

Adam is now one of those people who got the cops out FOR NO REASON!

Literally no reason!

Yes, it was accidental, but not hearing the phone is a piss-poor excuse.

[backsack]

And he will now have to pay a $40 false alarm penalty *gasp!* Get ready for about 40 minutes on that once he gets the bill in the mail.

[mpa]

don't alarm companys often charge a service fee, too?

Why did the one guy have face paint on?

[mpa]

because he was a crazy fuck, same reason he drove 3 times the speed limit while yelling to NIN or Manson when there was a police barricade at the end of the street where his house was

[Fuckface]

I think your face paint buddy was at Alison's show.

[mpa]

probablly not, dad got him into med school and he's a doc on the east coast - that's the type of pull running johns hopkins and city of hope gets ya: your dumb ass kid goes to med school

[Fuckface]

This is why I hate doctors. Half of them don't belong in the profession.
