"Racine - Hundreds of young people who fought $968 citations for attending a rave party here won vindication in court Thursday morning when the city agreed to dismiss all of the pending tickets and to make refunds to the relatively few party-goers who had pleaded no contest and paid fines.

In addition, the city agreed to:

Not again use its "inmate of a disorderly house" ordinance for writing citations at such gatherings.

Work with the Common Council to revise the ordinance.

Train police officers so that citations will not be issued as they were at the Nov. 2 party.

Expunge the record of each person so that no record of the citations will exist.

In exchange, the Milwaukee-based American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin, which negotiated the settlement, agreed not to bring a class-action civil rights lawsuit against the city."
