Yay for Ann Arbor... I go to school in Ypsi, and live in Plymouth when school's not in session. I hang out in Ann Arbor a lot. =)

It rocks that you guys got the ACLU on your side! Hopefully that will not only help and/or possibly fix your legal situation, but prevent things like the Flint raid from happening in the future. xoxo

Dear Bob,

We can't thank you enough for your commitment to First Amendment rights and for turning that commitment into action. Your incredible outpouring of support for the club-goers in Michigan who had their civil rights violated in the raid at Club What's Next has been incredibly successful at raising public awareness of what happened.

New details that have emerged via eyewitness accounts since our last report indicate that the strip searches and cavity searches to which some patrons were subjected were conducted in unsanitary or dangerous ways. Because Michigan has strict rules about when and how police officers can conduct cavity searches, these searches may have been in violation of state law. As for the arrests themselves, the local law against frequenting a known drug establishment, which was used to arrest and ticket many patrons of the nightclub, broadly defines a "drug establishment" as any place where people use or sell drugs. This means the law could be used to prosecute anyone who is ever in a place where drugs are used or sold.

With concerns about the constitutionality of such a broad statute and the legality of some of the searches, the Greater Flint ACLU and ACLU of Michigan held a meeting on Thursday to speak with people who were present at the nightclub raid, and the Alliance is working with the ACLU to determine how we can best support this fight as it goes forward. If you were there and want more information about fighting back, please submit an incident report to the Electronic Music Defense and Education Fund and a copy will go to the ACLU. If you live in the Flint area and are able to organize people for a possible future event such as a public rally, please contact us directly.

Thank you again for all your work! We will keep you updated as the situation evolves. And if you have not yet taken action to tell the city of Flint you condemn these civil rights abuses, you can still do so:

almost would've been funny if you got a followup letter saying:

April Fools!
we hate you


hah, just kidding, that's awesome though. I like how there's an Electronic Music Defense and Education Fund. I've been joking about something like that for years. I never thought one would actually get made. Big ups to that.

Electronic music definetely needs to be defended. I mean, I hate telling me people i go to raves because the first things out of their mouths are: Isn't that just a bunch of people on extasy jumping up and down?
I hate trying to explain to people that being a sober raver isn't all that uncommon anymore. And the government and police really have it in for raves. It sux to the max.

happy1

why oh why cant you just accept it? im a raver not a f@#$%%% drug addict yeah thats right i go to rave i really like it leave me alone its my life i think its stupid

the architech

yeah, I just told me sister that I've been throwing raves in the Philly area. first thing she asks me, "so are you like doing ecstacy now?" this is precisely why I never told my parents that I throw raves. If they understood it wouldn't be a problem, but I like avoiding them having to unecessarily worry about crap like that.

upinflames1234

when I really got Into hardcore, my sister and mom confronted me and sat me down, all emotional like. then they asked, "peter... are you doing drugs? maybe extacy?" so I just "wow..." and the nI got up and left... ... and happy1 its not "I think its stupid." its, "I think its sorted."

Wait, there is bullshit on a message board? wow.

Don't put words in my mouth. I don't want him to feed into anything.

I want him to get the joke. He's been in a few threads now where he just hasn't gotten the joke. If you don' get the joke you're going to be the butt end of it. Its just the way it is.

_M@_

There's jokes on message boards now?

I thought this was the most serious site on the world wide web.
