Police officers arriving in three police cars went down to a recreation room after being told that they were conducting an illegal rave, only to find it was filled with elderly people being vaccinated against Chinese coronavirus.
While the Essex Police claimed to be responding to reports of “congestion” at the Essex Freemasons’ Saxon Hall in Southend on Friday, the site president said that when the officers arrived, they told him that they had come to investigate an illegal rave.
Dennis Baum told the Daily Gazette on Wednesday: “It was very funny when the police came to be informed that there was a ‘rave’ going on in Saxon Hall – only to find young people in their 80s and 90s in wheelchairs, zimmer frames and walking sticks, patiently on queue for your vaccinations.
“Grumpy old men and grumpy old women were in abundance. However, as a balancing act, many much more grateful people could not have been more grateful to receive the vaccine and to Saxon Hall and the Freemasons for facilitating this, ”added Baum. The police then returned later to help with traffic management.
The report was released after another force was charged with a heavy hand after 20 West Midlands police raided an apartment on Birmingham’s top floor after reports of a party, only to find three people, two of whom were residents.
Young YouTuber Jayden Gray filmed in disbelief as the police entered his house, with five cornering his girlfriend in the kitchen, fining her for being in a residence where she did not live.
Mr. Gray also described how the police covered the peephole and refused to announce who they were when the cautious 18-year-old refused to open the door until he knew who was on the other side of it.

“If they expected a party, it didn’t make sense for everyone to enter the building. I live in an apartment on the top floor. If there was a party, we would not be able to leave the apartment because we are not going to jump out.
“I feel like they were trying to make a point,” said the young man, adding that “the way they handled it is not right.”
British police are not only looking for “raves” and parties, but also small gatherings with less than a dozen people.
Gloucester police fined four people in a private residence over the weekend because they were from two different families and forced six people to leave after the group found themselves in an outdoor space.
The Stroud home invasion came “after reports of a social gathering” – suggesting that a neighbor had informed him.
The British seem largely in favor of the Police State in Britain, with several recently declaring that they did not think the forces had repressed enough against alleged rule breakers.
A survey this week found that almost half – 45 percent – would support the government by using cell phone data to track citizens’ movements and make sure they were not breaking the block.
He described how a policeman put his finger over the peephole and refused to answer calls to identify himself. “I wouldn’t open the door if they didn’t say who they were … I opened the door and was met with aggression.” https://t.co/PJL5CXoUZi
