Facebook police raided my family barbecue
Thursday, July 16, 2009
Riot police stormed a 30th birthday party for just 15 people and shut it down, thinking it was a rave because it was advertised on Facebook.
Four police cars, a riot van and a helicopter were involved in the swoop on Andrew Poole's gathering for his family and friends.
He was just about to light the barbecue and had not even turned on the music when the gazebo suddenly started flapping wildly and the sound of chopper blades filled the air.
Eight officers wearing camouflage trousers and body armour jumped out and demanded that the 'rave' to be shut down.
Mr Poole said: 'We were nowhere near anyone. We weren't even playing any music. What effectively the police did was come in and stop 15 people eating burgers.'
The party was organised using the create an event facility on Facebook.
Mr Poole, a coach driver, said he invited 17 family and friends and two had not even arrived by the time the helicopter was whirring overhead.
Mr Poole said: 'All of a sudden there was this noise in the sky. The thing then hovered over us for about 25 minutes, watching 15 people eat. They told us to take down the sound system and said everybody's got to leave.
'It was 4pm and we hadn't even plugged the music in yet. We tried to reason with them but they were having none of it.'
Mr Poole said he spent £800 on food and a generator.
Yesterday, police insisted they were right to end the party. 'We were extremely concerned how the event had been advertised on the internet as an all-night party,' a spokesman said.

And its not the way you invite 17 people to attend a BBQ.

Still heavy handed by the police though C.R.
How much has that raid cost the taxpayer ?
It may not be as innocent as the organiser makes it sound ???

What exactly were the police expecting again? A rave? I'm assuming they thought there'd be drugs and chavs?

Apparently, there was chocolate cake on the menu and some fat chav bird felt a bit guilty after shoving it down her throat in one. Hence the response.

A 'real' British BBQ involves Beer x Lots, raw meat burned to a cinder on the outside, at least two couples having a 'heated domestic' and rain. Lots and lots of rain.
The perfect end to the day.

Well, 25 minutes of a helicopter + 30 minutes to fly to and from base, that in itself is a couple of hundred pounds at least!
This reminds me of the apartheid days in South Africa, where any gathering of more than 3 people could be deemed illegal and broken up by the police... way to go UK!

Only one's posted on Facebook and the likes (normally by imature young kids.)
In this case the Dad was probably going to sell the booze to his "uninvited" guests to make a quick buck.

That is not true, i have been to many parties organised on facebook and the reason it is done on facebook because it is simply easier and cheaper. All these parties have been relaxed and there has been no trouble at them, sure it happens but it is bound to happen if parties are advertised on facebook or not.
Also about the selling, i would like to know
A) if anyone else has heard of this happening, because i sure havent.
B) where is your evidence for this??

So you are a 17 year old expert on facebook parties :roll:
A) you, contrary to what you believe are not the world.:roll:
B) past reported history with regards "Parties" that started out as " I was just having a quiet get together with a few friends when it got out of hand with a lot of people who gate.crashed the event and trashed my house, officer" usually followed by "When parents get home they are going to kill me, Boo Hoo!"

i did not say i was a expert however i have been to many and know people whohave had them and all have been fine
and i did not say "i was the world" please if you cant have a mature debate please dont...
and like i said, sure these happen but what gate crashers are more likley to do is to go out and listen to music... know there is a party then go there. (i know this because i know of people who have done it and this is how they do it)

But it isn't even the point. You cannot send the anti-riot police just because you advertise a "wild party". You are suppose to send those guys when the party is out of control and the party guys attacked the normal cops. Every reasonable police would send in first a inspecting patrol to see is everything is in order, then act upon the first complain from neighbors.
I think someone in the police department had a turn that evening and his girlfriend was attending to the party.

On the face of it, this seems like an over-reaction to a non-incident. If some intell guy that is tracking wild rave party adverts on Facebook, saw this, why not just call the local precinct and tell them to keep an eye out, wait for a legit complaint and then shut the thing down.
Somebody somewhere, knew about this so far in advance, they could plan an op w/air assets and muster the riot squad before the thing even kicked off, before they even had a complaint. I don't mind bud-nipping problems, but shouldn't there be a problem, first?

My mates had an "illegal rave" shut down by the police a few years back. In reality there was about 15 of them going camping in the woods. It was a big spread in the local paper and made out to be the raid of the year. When we decided to actualy have an illegal rave there was no sign of police for miles and miles and the party went on for days. After that I lost all faith in the police force. Still was a dam good party.

Well over here in France they have Charbon...and I have a really hard time convincing my self that they're actually using coal, however it would make sense as it takes forever to get the grill hot enough to cook. Or maybe they're trying to imitate...coal, I never ask as whenever my company or section grills it's good eatin'.
However it would become much more efficient if they had stuff like this:

We have proper charcoal in England because as im sure you are aware now we have a small window to start a barbie because of the rain. Ha ha. I always take my waterproofs just in case and they have been worn many a time. My mat has a birthday bbq every year and the last two of them it has rained. His neighbours must think were mental dancing in the rain all day but I think their just lightweights. You cant beet a good stomp in the pissing rain.

This is just more antidrug police state fascism. Unless some of the neighbors complain about the noise or whatever, the cops have no just cause to raid the place. Incidents like this are steadily alienating more and more people, turning those who are otherwise conservative, law-abiding, and peaceful, well-disposed towards law enforcement, into people who view the police with hostility and suspicion. The job of the police is going to get a lot harder when distrust and disinclination to cooperate, which is already common in minority communities, begins to spread through the rest of the population. Law enforcement needs the support and goodwill of the communities they serve in order to effectively function, and some police, I'm afraid, are beginning to forget this.

Excellent way to end any day! p-)
Kind of sucks for the guy who planned it though. Oh well. Live and learn I suppose.
I still don't understand why this required a helicopter and cops in riot gear, even if it had turned out to be a sponateous party of 200 people.
I mean ok, drunken brits are not nice but brits should be able to cope with their drunken countrymen better than germans.
Even though I must admit I never saw any really bad riot during the 2006 championship.
Mostly flashing (why do anglo-americans always have the urge to strip when drunk?), singing and jumping from bridges (with or without a river beneath it) but hardly any serious fighting.

Yes we are, I won't deny that... I hear about it in the news all the time, a new lawsuit against another company for something.
The woman sued McDonalds over the coffee. I think she's a stupid cnut. Any idiot knows fresh coffee's going to be hot. But no, some dummy has to go and sue because there's nothing specific stating that it is.

Facebook invites for small get-together is practically the norm for people in their 30's and younger here now, I've been to quite a few birthday parties, BBQ's and the like organised through facebook, never had any problems with it. It's a communications channel like any other, and has to be used with a bit of care, if you put stuff on open invitations and tell everyone to bring their friends, obviously it'll get out of hand, so just don't do that.
Saying the guy was at fault for using modern technology is just rubbish.

A complete waste of money and over the top reaction by the state police, because this is what they have become. They should concentrate on catching real criminals and not criminalising ordinary citizens.
We had a break in on the nursery a while ago and it took them 7 weeks to turn up. I bet they would have been a bit quicker if I had shot a couple of them.
The Police and this Government seem hell bent on criminalising the whole of the population.
I guess I would be a bit happier today if there had not been a police helicopter over our house last night for about 1/2 an hour flashing its torch into the countryside, I thought they had thermal imaging.

Does the movie, "V For Vendetta" seem not so strange and over the top now?

Not really
That movie depicts an extreme right wing islamophobic regime that has ethnically cleansed the UK IIRC - not a very likely scenario outside the wet dreams of fruitloop neocon/zionist fanboyz:roll:

Ha! Now, that's funny. Because here, we thought of it as an extreme left wing regime that a lone right wing neocon/Zinoist hero was taking to task.
See how things just never change?

That little turd would love to get involved. His 15 minutes of fame have expired and he's looking for a job.

What?!!!!!!! Of course we still have raves. Why would we not? You have to be real sneeky these days but you can still get away with it. Thats like saying does America still fat people and burgers? I think everyone should go to a decent rave at least twice in their life. Its good to dance it keeps you fit.
