Road EN3, we had cause to stop a silver Ford Focus VRM MA57LDY due to the manner of
its driving. The driver was a male I know to be Simon Cordell dob21/01/1981.

driving.

occasions. He was initially hostile about having been stopped, but once he had calmed down,
he engaged in conversation with us.

Officer Pc Edgoose States: he stated that he is staying out of trouble.”

younger; and that he just gets pulled over and accused and harassed by members of the
metropolitan police a lot.
Officer Pc Edgoose States; He stated that he has four brand new speakers at home which are
suitable for use at raves, but he does not use them and has offered to lend them to any
"youngsters" to use.
Mr Simon Cordell will state; that he had been on curfew for one year for a case he proved
his innocents in and had been working hard in his Local community trying to make a positive
effect towards his self and other that he could help, so he had been spending his time building
his company and would not link himself to illegal raves,

proposals for pickets lock including barley lands ready and had been in contact with both
venues. Mr Simon Cordell will state that he had also been working at his local community
hall as well as Muswell Hill festival ponders end festival lock to lock festival and Enfield
town festival and would have been talking about such on goings and that he had been
working with the youngsters from Kemp Hall Community Hall.

days they just want to steal everything.”

for them at the time.”

problems whatsoever.

this relates to the conversation on the day or his activities as he was talking about the hard
work he had been committing himself to, constrictive legal work and for the term Rave to be
used without the key elements it is an injustice.”
