Free party risks in general...

[sheffield-junglist]

Thought I'd start this coz there doesn't seem to be owt like this on the law forum. To be honest I haven't got a clue about the law and free parties apart from the obvious stuff an I'm guessin it would be useful to have this so all the possible things that could happen could be listed here.

Just wantin people to list everythin that can happen legally and how to avoid it.

Thought it would be useful to people who are thinkin of startin to do parties but don't know much about the risks.

So yeh just list what could happen, what that will lead to, what they will do about the sound system(s), tactics the coppers use, what the OB can actually do about it and other stuff like that.

(I know theres already loads about it on this forum but its not all that organised an it would be handy to have it in one place)

This thread may not be such a good idea.

If we collate all the information on what you could potentially be charged with and how to get around it, then we could be seen as trying to help people break the law.

I can see why you'd want to know the kind of things you could be done with but with it all on a public forum that the police do monitor isn't really the best of ideas..

Well IMO anyways

Yeah. Good point there. I sometimes feel that way about the Drug section of the forum as well.

Although I do agree it's best to have open and informed discussion on such matters, the powers that be definitely have an opposite view on the matter........

If you want to get a good idea just ask some of the rig owners in your area who have been doing it a while,
Theres plenty in sheffield and the give you a better view of how the local coppers go about dealing with partys.

Already got one but we'll be needin a lot more

So far we've got me playin Jungle, ma mate playin DnB and then my other mate playin psy/breaks (Not in the same set lol)
I'm probably gunna do a reggae/dub set as well. Probably not gunna do any dub til the rig is bigger tho. To be honest we'll be wanting as many DJs as possible so when we need em I'll let everyone know!

The Court of Appeal recently had to remind the CPS that there is no offence of "aiding and abetting" by itself, unless you yourself also commit the same offence you are accused of abetting:
cleared-Derby-shop-cannabis-offences

In other words it's not even illegal to discuss how to do something otherwise illegal and avoid being caught, let alone how to stay safe and on the right side of the law.

In the present climate of unreasoning clampdowns on any party at all, I don't see why it should be a problem to have a thread about how to throw a party safely and without trouble, so as to help someone avoid being charged with illegal acts or having their belongings arbitrarily seized and destroyed.
