sounds a lot harsher than Britain, however rough our cops can be they do not produce a firearm and discharge a round into the air! (a very dangerous practice if this was live ammo – bullets actually come down with almost the same velocity that they went up with…)
Looks like they also can give everyone a fixed penalty under their country’s laws.. €200 is a fair bit of money, about £135 – the crew got fined about £675. :yakk:
When the party began the Police was , we could say, the first Party Guests . So they had got the Infolines, form where are ever. One Cop make a Warning-Shoot in the Air because people wanna get to the Party. And the whole pa and boxes are now at the Police-Station. We don´t know from where they get the Info, one guy said that they got a Flyer from the Party.
So know its a really bad Situation in Austria. The States Reaction is mass-repression, at few Partys every car what was on the Party payd more than 200€ and the System something like 1000€, and now the Captured the Soundsystems. They Cops says thats only the beginning they wanna destroy the Movement in Austria and they make that again if they come to the next Party the System get captured.
Many People in Austria think that the Police got Spys in our Rows, so one Police Bastard tells us somthing like that.
So we look forward but its a heavy Problem for making Parties anymore, take care if you come to Austria 😉
So thats one of the Systems thats now at the Police Station.
With greetz from Austria
P.S.: i hope my english is not too bad! 
In Additon theres a Froum Topic http://network23.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=238
Is the gun thing legal there? Could it be something the crew can use in court?
I think the UK is one of the only nations where the Police do not routinely carry or use firearms but Euro-cops can and do use firearms as a routine part of their enforcement tactics.
There appear to be local Health and Safety rules within the Austrian Polizei about the use of firearms – I had a look but its 3 pages of public-sector speak in German – and I’ve let my German get very rusty and left all my dictionaries/grammar guides behind in Reading.. 😥
It probably would be against the rules to discharge a live pistol round for the reasons already stated but maybe not a blank or a “flash grenade” type of crowd dispersal device fired from a shotgun.

That’s more what I was thinking, not carrying the weapon but the way it was used, surely it breaks some laws, but I suppose not as many as enjoying yourself with music, ah, damn, hadn’t thought, I bet they were communing with the deadly, satanic SKUNK!!!!!!
I remember reading a few years ago about another Euro-crew which operated across borders (AT, NL, DE(?) ) and they got busted for drug dealing and evading license fees to the tune of €500,000 – they were called something like “Intense Freak Project” – not sure what happened to them in the end..
made me think of this though (although probably not many who can remember this..)
