"The ASBO effectively bans him from organising and performing at illegal raves"

...blimey even 'performing' is covered, wonder what the actual wording is? can members of the public get this wording from somewhere?

btw the article on aylesburytoday is an exact copy of a thames valley police press release - easily found by looking on the press section of their website.

ASBO GIVEN TO PREVENT ILLEGAL RAVES IN OXFORDSHIRE
(TUESDAY, JUNE 13) A man has been given an ASBO preventing him from organising illegal raves in Oxfordshire. This follows the first ASBO of this kind in the country which was also in Oxfordshire earlier this year.
The two year order was imposed on 22-year-old James Christopher McKenzie of Long Hide, Princes Risborough at Didcot Magistrates' Court yesterday (12/6).

The ASBO effectively bans him from organising and performing at illegal raves which have blighted the peaceful Oxfordshire countryside for many residents.

Illegal raves had been organised on the Oxfordshire Ridgeway at West Ilsley off the A34 and at Watlington off Hill Road near the M40 in November last year. Police closed down the first rave and seized equipment at the second.

PC Jimmy May said: "Obtaining this ASBO is the result of a lot of hard work by police and their partner agencies. This is the second ASBO of this nature in Oxfordshire and is still only the second in the country.

"The first ASBO, earlier this year was also for rave organising in Oxfordshire and has been extremely successful. The man who was given the order has not breached his ASBO at all and tells us when he is taking part in legal and legitimate events.

"Communities have suffered long enough with illegal raves and securing this second ASBO makes it quite clear that we will not be soft targets for rave organisers.

"These events are often associated with trespass, drug use and criminal damage. They have caused major disruption and distress to landowners and local residents.

"It is not about spoiling anyone's fun. We want to protect those attending as well as support landowners and local residents. We fully support legal events in which all aspects of community safety have been considered."

Cllr Bob Johnston, who chairs the Vale of White Horse District Council's licensing committee, said: "We in the Vale welcome this decision and hope it deters anyone thinking of holding similar illegal events in the area."

an unlicensed party is not illegal untill they make it so, unless the party was not organised privatly.

organising an illegal party is and always has been illegal

organising a private party is not illegal, carrying on after they section 63 it(make it illegal) is illegal.

what is worrying is the trend by the police, the media, legal system and even ravers to call all unlicensed parties illegal.

incidentally he has since had his house burgled and his decks and mixer stolen, following publication of his home address in the local papers....

how fucked up can this be? I know the lad had some disagreements with other crews but if people take the law into their own hands like this it actually makes the ASBO more of a victory for cops...

:annoyed:
