There was no music being played or about to be set up.
                 He was not involved in the organization of an illegal rave of any
                 sort and no Acts of the licensing Bill 2013 was being broken.
                 There is a report from a PC Hoodlass at page 112 of the
                 appellant’s bundle which relates to this occasion. A security
                 guard had called the police to the location, and that cad states: -
                 “there were twenty young men and women there, who ran out.
                 Some people remained inside, claiming to be squatters.
                 The Applicant state; “that his friend called him earlier in the day
                 and explained to him that they were living at Unit 5 St. Georges
                 Industrial Estate White Hart Lane N17; and that he had gone to
                 meet them, he continues to explain that he did not hear any
                 alarms while he was present, nor would he be on any CCTV
                 cameras committing any offence on this date in question.
                 That he did in fact arrive and had ordered food.
                 He used his van to travel from his home to where his friends
                 were staying.
                 The prosecution explains that in the rear of the Transit van
                 contained a set of large speakers and music equipment, but Mr.
                 Cordell insisted he used the equipment for festival work and was
                 not setting up for a rave.  He also says, interestingly enough, that
                 the speaker cases that he had in his van were in fact empty.
                 The other curiosity in relation to his assertions at page 397 is
                 that at page 4 of the same appellant's bundle he accepts that he
                 had two speakers in the van, but not, as he says, a full sound
                 system.
                 The Applicant states; that he could not have the intentions to
                 “have used the speaker box’s to play sound, as they were not
                 operational due to no drivers being present and amps or any
                 other similar need equipment to constitute to a sound system, he
                 did ask the police too note this down, as he was only using the
                 van as storage, this is why the police officers who were in
                 attendance allowed him to leave, while talking to the current
                 occupiers of the premises.”
                 The applicant does accept that he did drive there in his van VRM
                 CX52JRZ, and explains that he was not rude to the police, that
                 he allowed his van to be searched by members of the police and
                 nothing was seized, and he then went home it was also explained
                 by the prosecution that he produced his insurance documents.
                 Mr. Cordell will state that he did not cause any anti-social
                 behaviour on the
                 25/05/2014
                 25th May 2014
                 or any other behaviour that might have caused alarm harm or
                 distress to others.”
                 Since this ASBO application was served on the Applicant, he has
                 moved the speakers out of his van and they are still in the (open
                 air), at his mother’s address and are in the back garden still to
                 date, as if in the first day that off when he had taken them out of
                 his van, with no drivers in them because he felt uncomfortable
