Don’t get me wrong i complete agree it shouldn’t be illigal to dance outdoors, but like you pointed out they could be a bit smarter about it for there own sake of not getting there equiptment confiscated.

Questions over rave zero tolerance

18 August 2008 16:49

Police warned of a zero tolerance approach to raves over the Bank Holiday – as villagers claimed an illegal event was allowed to go on all night last weekend before officers moved into break it up.

One person was arrested and sound equipment seized, after more than 100 party goers converged on woodland at Gayton Thorpe, near King’s Lynn, in the early hours of Sunday.

Police said their action showed they were determined to prevent raves going ahead. But people living near Ten Acre Plantation, where the event took place, said it was still in full swing the following morning.

“The first call we made was just after 1am,” one woman said. “My husband rang again a little after 2am – they were both 999 calls.

“I rang again at 9.15am on the 0845 number and I had a message from a sergeant at 20 past 10 on my telephone to say they were going in.

“When they say zero tolerance you think they’re going to go in like a ton of bricks but that doesn’t seem to have been the case.”

Today police said they began zero tolerance action after receiving the first call alerting them to the event. But a spokesman said they did not have a precise time for when the event was closed down.

“We did take zero tolerance action but sometimes that process can take time,” she added. “We have guidelines which we have to follow.”

Police last night released photographs of equipment seized during the operation at Gayton Thorpe. Organisers face having sound systems destroyed and a hefty fine if prosecuted under the Public Order Act.

Supt Mick Kirkham said: “We were successful in shutting down this particular rave and I want to make it quite clear that we will use all necessary resources to prevent, disrupt and close down other illegal raves in this county.

“Unlicensed musical events or raves are unsafe and disruptive to our local communities. We will continue to take a hard line against them and seek to prosecute anyone found to be involved in their organisation.”

No, because the majority of the time they have got a little bit more intelligence than that you stupid old bat.

Why ring 999 too? I can understand it might be a little alarming to some people but what a misuse of the emergency number.

the cops in all 3 Eastern constabularies have on some occasions told people to call nines if they see a rave in progress via the media.

I think they are justifying this on danger to property (as its acceptable to call 999 if you saw someone smashing things up) and also safety (at least 3 emergency Ambulances were despatched to raves in 2007 due to ket heads hurting themselves)

Yeah, I suppose you are right. I think I’m just looking at it from a different perspective. I would never call 999 unless there was a real emergency eg someone was going to get hurt or killed. At all other times the local number would suffice for me.

In all my time I’ve only ever had to call any number once and that was 999

that is genuinely how all three of the blue light services view an illegal rave today because of previous incidents (remember that big fire in Thetford Forest in 2006?) and also the ambulances being required – even if a licensed venue had 3 incidents in a row requiring Ambulance attendance their managers would have to explain themselves to the Council…

however the old bat whinging to the papers is the sort of person turning this nation into a Police state (ironically worse than the Police themselves!)

I don’t know if she’s stupid or genuinely malicious, can’t she see that scattering a load of panicked and angry youth into random countryside in the hours of darkness is simply going to cause more problems, and such an operation risks greater injury to both ravers and police officers?

Also the cops may not have had sufficient units in the night and it makes more tactical sense to give them a chance to disappear quietly and only turn the rave over in the morning when they have a new shift of fresh coppers up against the ravers who will be getting sketchy and tired and liable to make mistakes..

I agree with you here i think also what she says is also a little harsh, you would think we were roiting or something maybe she expects them to run in and shoot us all

I don’t think they are having a go at Norfolk for having a party, they are having a go at the fact they are a bunch of retards for carrying on and not shutting down when the old bill ask.

Its not like partying is easy in that area at the moment so why antagonise the police? If they behaved and shut down the party they would have probably got away with the rig and gained some respect from the police!!

it was a suicide rig!!!

That’s what I was thinking, will still get peoples backs up.. ok fair enough they lost a rig they were prepared to loose but it still showed disrespect to the police by carrying on. The scene in this county is already very fragile, no need to make it worse :you_crazy

You can get a rig for a suprisingly small amount of cash if you know the right people. And split that between a crew and it really is fuck all. At the moment its obvious people arn’t throwing partys in norfolk to keep their rig but a way of showing they aint gonna give up.
I personally think the way their going about isn’t possibally the best way but at least their trying. This wasn’t a massive party and if it was a suicide i’m sure the rig wern’t to big, but maybe they should have chosen a cleverer venue.

If people stop partying norfolk all together people will get bored of waiting and the scence will die.

The only advice i can give to norfolk is give it a rest for a few weeks and let the police calm down.
A good thing to do would to maybe get a person or group of people to organise a meeting with the police. They do say on every news report they are more than willing to help people organise such an event if asked (probally bullshit but you never know). You would have to be willing to admit your involved with partys but it may be easier explaining it then rather than while cuffed, fucked and sleepless.

Fair play norfolk FUCKING AV IT!

If it was given a few years rest this may be the case, but a few weeks is fuck all time.

I’m not even going to go into this, because, quite simply- I can’t be arsed. So many points, so little motivation……
