So I'm sitting in my room playing Poker with my music on and completely zoned into Poker and nothing around me, There was knocking at my door which I did not hear, and than the two officers entered my house and started to yell with there guns pointed.
I left my room seeing who was in my living room, I had expected it to be random friend just coming into my APT, as I usually leave my door open for my friends to randomly come into my place as they wish..
I come out of my room with 3 Pokerstars games open worth $220 and two Police officers standing there with guns pointing at me and to put my hands up over my head.
The one female officer starts to inspect my apartment while the other officer is with me, telling me to keep my hands up in the air and not move. She goes into my Bathroom and Room with the gun pointing, and than enters my room mates room (He wasn't home) with her gun pointing. I'm standing in shock with my hands still up not knowing what the hell is going on.
After they finish inspecting my apartment and find nothing, I finally ask "What is going on here"
They reply, "There was a complaint from somewhere downsitars that they had heard a women screaming upstairs in your apartment."
They start asking if I heard any screaming, and I reply I was playing poker and I did not hear anything.
I end up asking the officer if I can go back to my room to finish my games, as I'm losing a bunch of money standing here, as to what they reply "Is it really that Important?"
I reply back - "Well I think I've lost about $200 since you have entered my apartment"
They finally leave my apartment and I realize I should get a Business card to have Pokerstars e-mail them back so I can get a refund on the money I had lost while I was not able to move, the officer gives me a business card I go back to my apartment.
I e-mail Pokerstars telling them the story, and that in total I had lost $160 in buyins, as I won the last game I had loaded and do not need a refund for the game.
Pokerstars replys back to me 30minutes later with this:

So Yah, i asked for $160 to be refunded and Pokerstars had given me $220 for my problems. I love Pokerstars <3
Pretty crazy experience, I have never had a gun held up to me until tonight.
I have no intentions of actually sueing the police, however my friend has said that the police used "unlawful entry" to enter my apartment, however I would do the same as a Police officer and was investigation a complaint about a female screaming in my apartment. I am now curious as to what the law is on this though? My door was closed, however unlocked and the police had opened it to enter my suite.
