Dont think there was one particular incident really. I’ve only been going for a few years so i might be wrong but i think as suffolks supposidly quite a wealthy area, theres lots of wealthy/ influential people pulling certain strings? Partyers here are no worse than any other counties.
this is true – but where I used to live (SE England/ Thames Valley) had a similar situation and although there was a bit of a backlash and a few violent shutdowns of parties it never got quite as bad as in Suffolk.
Perhaps though it might be the case that farming is even more of a major contribution to to the economy here than in the Thames Valley (which is actually a fairly small area with a lot more urban areas) so outdoor raves are perceived to cause more damage?
also I fear there are a lot of “ex-ravers” about my sort of age who frightened themselves because they overdid things “back in the day” and feel that by supporting more restrictions they are “protecting the youth (particularly their own kids who may be now pre-teens or teens)

Last week i read that suffolk police had to make some cut backs to save cash, including axing expenditure on “pro active policing of illegal raves”. Just read that although they’re receiving some extra funds…… that most cutbacks are still going ahead, including that one! PHAT
that still leaves £130,000 for dealing with illegal raves (there is a thread on this elsewhere)
