Laws on raves?

[test_recordings]

Basically what's the crack on how the pigs can deal with raves? I'm not looking for a guide on how to do one I'm looking for how the state can do one over

if you sell drinks they have a shitload more against you in their hands.
if you have entrance fee, too.

Not sure of the legitimacy of it, but if everyone has an invite (piece of paper with their name on will do), can justify it as a private party.

Or play breakcore, no repetitive beats.

Sections 63, 64 & 65: Raves

A 'rave' is defined as a gathering of 100+ people, at which amplified music ('wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats'[!) is played which is likely to cause serious distress to the local community, in the open air and at night.

These sections give the police the power to order people to leave the land if they're believed to be preparing to hold a rave ( 2 or more people); waiting for a rave to start (10+); actually attending a rave (10+). Ignoring this direction, or returning to the land within the next week, are both offences, liable to 3 months' imprisonment and/or a £2,500 fine.

Section 65 lets any uniformed constable who believes a person is on their way to a rave within a 5-mile radius to stop them and direct them away from the area - failure to comply can lead to a maximum fine of £1000.

Sections 66 & 67: Seizure

The arrangements authorising police officers to enter land where a rave is in progress or anticipated. and which allow for the seizure, retention and charges for the confiscation of vehicles and sound equipment.

Section 68 & 69: Disruptive Trespassers

These refer to the new offence of 'aggravated trespass'. Section 68 is committed by anyone trespassing on land in the open air (not including highways and roads) with the intent of intimidating other people engaged in 'lawful activity' on that land or adjoining land, so as to deter them, or obstructing/ disrupting them ('lawful activities' of course include such delights as fox-hunting; earth-raping etc etc...)

Section 69 gives the police sort of preventative powers to direct people to leave land. This direction can be made by a senior officer as long as at least one person is committing or intends to commit aggravated trespass, or there are two or more people present with the 'common purpose' of aggravated trespass.

Failure to comply with this direction carries a maximum penalty of 3 months in prison and/or a 2,500 fine.

So if your beats aren't 'repetitive' it's okay?

Yep, it's a way to get around the licensing laws. Same principle as village fetes giving away bottles of wine on the tombola. Only with a warehouse instead of a village fete, a surly minimum wage antipodean instead of a tombola, and a warm can of Red Stripe instead of wine.
