From the Drug Policy Alliance News section:

"Racine police raided a non-profit fundraising event that featured electronic music last Saturday where they arrested three people on drug charges and wrote $430,760 worth of questionable citations. A prepared police statement said: "Based on information from the U.S. Customs Service, undercover officers went through the Haunted Theater (Uptown Theater) at 1430 Washington Ave. After the very brief tour, officers were directed to the basement of Tradewinds Village, 1518 Washington Ave., for the party. There they bought Ecstasy and Ketamine." Although only three arrests were made, police issued citations to 445 attendees with a penalty of $968 each for being "patrons of a disorderly house."

"The crowd was young, between about 17 and 25, said Sgt. William Macemon, public information officer for the Racine Police Department. According to witnesses, police cars and wagons came from every direction to surround the front and back entrances of the Tradewinds Banquet Hall. People outside were forcibly thrown to the ground, hand cuffed, and detained. The front and back entrances were sealed off. Meanwhile, inside, a representative from Dancesafe was forcibly thrown down on a pool table. One of the DJ's was using the bathroom when the police came in with guns drawn. A gun was pointed at the head of the DJ for almost a half hour. The group that organized the fundraiser is encouraging the hundreds of partygoers who were ticketed to contact the American Civil Liberties Union."
