San Francisco Police seizing DJ gear at parties

San Francisco DJs at underground parties in SOMA are claiming that their equipment is being unfairly seized, and in some cases being held beyond a reasonable amount of time by the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD).

Over the past six months, music fans who have been spinning records – or even just attending friends' events – claim their laptops, soundboards, and mixers have been taken by authorities.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF.org) is taking on the case of DJ Credible and DJ Higgins both whom have had their laptops confiscated.
