Site will have to sort out your gallery account as I don’t have that access level; but I can advise on the security aspects (I’m also aware that Exodus never liked photos being taken at their raves particularly of their crew, a paranoia which still exists at many raves to this day).
TBH I doubt if cops even can do anything with photos more than 2 years old or of defunct crews as there is a time limit for bringing prosecutions but I need to get this clarified.
Anyway I’d suggest not showing any core crew members, DJ’s and obscuring all vehicle registration marks in photos or distinctive markings on vehicles such as works vans signage..
Basically what we suggest is that any pics of raves are long shot views of the stack and cannot be used to identify individual ravers or crew people, particularly anyone you know who does anything the cops could be interested in (watch out for people accidentally in the background being snapped racking up /smoking)
sorry to add to the paranoia (particularly as I am myself a keen photographer) but feds went through SJ’s gallery and used it for evidence
gathering and even busted a few people because of it (in conjunction with their own photos of events).
A good rule of thumb is to think “if a cop saw this photo, what else (other than there was a rave in the distant past) would it tell them?”
