Raves now days are nothing but trouble waiting to happen. It is not an unusual thing for a party (rave) to get raided by the cops, DEA, or numerous other agencies. I use to be a pretty big raver. One of the raves I remember in particular was raided in Nashville about a year ago at a place called the Eigth Day.

Also raves give kids a place to go and help them stay off the streets. There are drug and other illegal activity there, but that will be anywhere kids hang out.
