Police raid rave party in Spanish Fork CanyonParty's over: 90 officers from several agencies cite 60 at the event, which had more than 400 people in attendance
By Michael N. Westley
The Salt Lake Tribune
About 60 people were arrested Saturday night when police officers busted an illegal rave in Spanish Fork Canyon.
When detectives got word that another party was planned for Saturday, they set to work to make sure they got their point across that such activity was not welcome in their area.
Brett George told Fox News 13 that officers stormed the party and treated attendees unfairly, including beating one man that was trying to film the bust with a video camera.
Police want parents of teenagers to know the dangers of illegal, clandestine rave parties. Gilbert said that in addition to heavy drug use, raves attract sexual assaults, violence, theft and promote unsafe driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
http://www.sltrib.com/utah/ci_2961967 Here's the story from someone who was there.....you'd think it was two completely different events. Evidently this was a legal , fully permitted and insured concert ...on PRIVATE land.
From a well known deejay who was there...
http://www.404audio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14814&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0"At about 11:30 or so, I was standing behind the stage talking with someone
when I noticed a helicopter pulling over one of the mountain tops. I
jokingly said "Oh look, here comes big brother" to the person I was with. I
wasn't far off.
The helicopter dipped lower and lower and started shining its lights on the
crowd. I was kind of in awe and just sat and watched this thing circle us
for a minute. As I looked back towards the crowd I saw a guy dressed in
camouflage walking by, toting an assault rifle. At this point, everyone was
fully aware of what was going on . A few "troops" rushed the stage and cut
the sound off and started yelling that everyone "get the fuck out of here or
go to jail". This is where it got really sticky.
No one resisted. That's for sure. They had police dogs raiding the crowd of
people and I saw a dog signal out a guy who obviously had some drugs on him.
The soldiers attacked the guy (4 of them on 1), and kicked him a few times
in the ribs and had their knees in his back and sides. As they were cuffing
him, there was about 1000 kids trying to leave in the backdrop, peacefully.
Next thing I know, A can of fucking TEAR GAS is launched into the crowd.
People are running and screaming at this point. Girls are crying, guys are cussing... bad scene."

"Now.. let's get the facts straight here.
This event was 100% legal. They had every permit the city told them they needed. They had a 2 MILLION DOLLAR insurance policy for the event. They had licensed security guards at the gates confiscating any alcohol or drugs found upon entry (yes, they searched every car on the way in). Oh, I suppose I should mention that they arrested all the security guards for possession.
Oh another interesting fact.. the police did not have a warrant. The owner of the land already has a lawsuit against the city for something similar. A few months ago, she rented her land for a party and the police raided that as well. And catch this, the police forced her to LEAVE HER OWN PERSONAL PROPERTY. That's right. They didnt arrest her, but made her leave her own property!!!
Don't get it twisted, this is all going down in probably THE most conservative state in the USA. And this is scary.. a gross violation of our civil liberties. The police wanted this party shut down, so they made it happen. Even though everything about this event was legal. The promoters spent over $ 20,000 on this show and did everything they had to to make it legit, only to have it taken away from them by a group of radical neo-con's with an agenda.
This was one of the scariest things I have ever witnessed in person. I can't even begin to describe how surreal it was. Helicopters, assault rifles, tear gas, camoflauge-wearing soldiers.... why? Was that really necessary?"
