unfortunately the Met have been smart here, they have enough power to deliberately pick an initially extreme position (targeting all music events) and have now used all their databases and incident logs to confirm that certain kinds of music “may lead to problems”…
Police say evidence shows trouble is most likely at music events when DJs or MCs perform to a live backing track at late-night clubs.
“Detailed research identified which events are most likely to attract crime and disorder,” a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police told BBC News.
“At the end of the day, you’ve got to say that certain events attract more trouble than others.
“We’re shifting the focus away from live music. Originally the definition of what Form 696 applied to was extremely broad so by narrowing it down, it’s thought that we can better tailor it to our requirements.”
