[via CoolJunkie] In an unprecedented move, the City of Miami Police Department ordered the patio section of the Miami nightclub, Space, shut down temporarily on Sunday morning.
According to CoolJunkie, at approximately 3:00AM EST on March 18, the Miami Police Department ordered the outdoor sound systems at Space, and neighbor club Nocturnal, shut down for noise complaints, despite the fact that Space has been operating in the neighborhood with an outdoor area for seven years, with no noise complaints.
Reports also indicate that two managers for the nearby Area 51/Allure/Adrenaline complex were arrested.
The situation came to a head approximately thirty minutes later when owner of Space, Louis Puig, as well as general manager Marcus Westreicher were subsequently detained and arrested by the City of Miami Police Department.

Seriously are you kidding me? police officials need to seriously get a life. Apparently they have no idea how much revenue Club Space and surrounding venues produce for the city. Noise complaints? To my understanding i would think a warrant for an arrest would have to be present for me to leave the venue. As far as no complaints on record.. i believe i would hear a lawsuit screaming, but at the same time i suppose walking away with a smile on my face would be more beneficial to the future of the club and other venues around. Fighting for what you believe in is normally a must but drawling attention could cause serious and non-resolving difficulties.
