Raving .... mad

[Bald Rick]

So from today, as a landowner, you may well be liable for £10,000 fine if an illegal rave sets up on your land as you will be considered to be the “organiser” or “facilitator” if I’ve understood the law correctly

Best organise it better then so anything you make over the 10k is profit..... “you ain’t seen me right! “

No but I think I have heard reports that the landowner would be considered to be the organiser.
Something to do with the interruption of the law

Prince Charles could have a problem. Been a few raves recently up on Dartmoor which the Duchy owns a lot of....

What makes a rave 'illegal'? A bunch of folks on private property in the middle of nowhere listening to bad music and taking drugs? How is that any different to any other organised festival?

This was only a small one with around 200 people , the largest in the same yard was 3000 people , no arrests and after a few months the organisers were given back their equipment that was confiscated... when I told the police I would get some machinery to block the road to stop anymore people driving to the site I was told in no uncertain terms if I blocked the road I would be arrested . also a fire officer arrived and informed me that if anything was blocking exits or there was any machines in the building that people could injure themselves on I would be liable ..

Ah yes, forgot it was bank holiday.
At least the gawd awful weather might deter them.

….and if you don't want to be fined even more, make sure you have a trade waste carrier licence for all the rubbish you clear up...…..

MADNESS!!!!!!!

Police love easy targets.

Police are around the area in force apparently because there is a planned rave in the near by forestry.
By the sounds of it, it will be fine to attend as the police will be after the land owner not the ravers or organizers.

After one rave here I did a bit of digging on Facebook and managed to find the organiser. I asked him to come and clear up and that I knew who he was and sent him a pic of his house , he was more than happy to bring a few friends down and make good use of the brushes , shovels and bin bags that we left out for them .

It was over 30 people so if I’m correct, you’d have been liable for a fine of £10k.

No Caribbean for you this year ... or the next
