Police in Racine Wisconsin raided a downtown bar and cited all persons in the downstairs "techno room" for being "inmates of a disorderly house." Club patrons who were not in the techno room were allowed to leave the venue unmolested. "Rave parties are not going to be part of our community and are not going to be tolerated," said Lt. Robert Purdy. Police arrested 3 individuals for drugs and issued the remaining 440+ club patrons $968 tickets for listening to the wrong kind of music.
