hello!

very stupid question here but i have been going to some illegal raves and i am still a bit confused as to what the police can actually do. last one i went to the police was outside the place for like 30/40 mins, the doors were kept shut, music was turned down and we kept it hush hush for a while and then the police just left so the music was turned on again and we just kept going. from what i was being told if the door is shut the police can’t actually force entry without a warrant. is that the main reason why they gave up?

also, how do big names end up playing squat raves? i am assuming someone must be friends with the dj cause i doubt it goes through their agent?

just fascinated by the whole thing!
