all-night party tonight at my house!

if i lived in the UK, four police cars, a riot van, and a force helicopter would greet my visitors. of course, they won't even get to go inside my house, and i would be forced to go out of it and head to the police station.

this is what happened when a 30 year old coach driver from Sowton, Devon, UK advertised his birthday party as "all-night" in facebook.

under their law, police are grated power to remove persons attending or preparing for a "rave" (defined as playing amplified music "wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats," during the night).

what to get out of this incident:
1)don't live in the U.K.

2)know your laws

3) UK police people are internet savvy... so don't go handing out invites on facebook. (only if you live in UK)
