Yeah, they are going in to full crack down mode now. Zero tolerance, which is unfortunate for the people that do things nicely.

About 100 people hurled beer and wine bottles at the building
An operation to deal with a mob who placed a Norfolk police station under siege will cost £150,000.

About 100 people attacked the building at Great Yarmouth in Norfolk on Sunday hurling bottles and smashing vehicles.

It occurred after three people in a van carrying sound equipment were arrested. Eight people have been charged with public order offences.

The police authority heard the cost would be about £150,000, which will come from the police contingency fund.

Police said 200 officers from across the region later broke up a "music event" on Harfrey industrial estate in Great Yarmouth.
Full Story
I would really like to get the inside story from someone that went because I can't imagine that sort of reaction unless something really bad happened by the police. i.e. beating people in the face with batons. Do we know anyone who attended?

:lol:

On a serious note.....I cant see how they can make a crackdown on private parties, they can only tell you to turn the music off.......its like if soemone is listening to loud music at home theyre not gonna raid your house in riot gear....If you havn't got permission then its obviously a different matter

There is loads of videos on youtube and I've been reading quite a lot of accounts on the net......Obviously the police were super pissed off people attatcked their station so they responded very heavily. But from what I can tell there wasnt much reason for people to attack the station........I think it started as a protest outside the station........then people started throwing shit....

Police seem to be pretty heavy handed as usual......Lots of people injured that were not doing anything.......One pregnant woman who took refuge in a van......the police pulled a man out, beat him and sprayed cs gas into the van.....After someone saying theres a woman up the duff in there they reportedly responded "well she shouldnt be there then" and carried on
