OREM — Organizers of a weekend dance party in Spanish Fork Canyon say a police raid that yielded drug arrests was not legally justifiable because they had the necessary permit to hold the outside event.
Brandon Fullmer, manager of Uprok Records, the party promoter, said he obtained a permit from the Utah County Health Department — but said he didn't need to obtain a county permit because he wasn't going to have more than 250 people in the area for more than 12 hours.

It would appear the drugs and guns (reportedly in the hand of appointed 'security' taken from the partiers as they entered the showground) were not even the issue. This draconian behavior was brought on by fears the rave would last too long, over twelve hours, two and a half hours into the rave.
Will wonders never cease?
