The Insane Clown Posse could face future legal trouble. Miller County Prosecutor Matt Howard has issued a “cease and desist” letter to the band’s label, psychopathic records. In it, he says the band’s promotion activities and sales of tickets violated state law because the group had not obtained a permit for the event. Because insane clown posse and psychopathic records had been selling tickets and promoting the event and had not obtained a permit from Miller County those actions according to Howard have been in violation of the Missouri statutes. Because the band’s label has declared its intent to move the event away from crybaby campgrounds in Kaiser, Howard said his office would take no further action. However, he said, if the label is determined to be scheduling or promoting any similar event anywhere within the state of Missouri during the applicable period of limitations, without first obtaining a permit, his office may pursue criminal proceedings. He also noted that if the news of the event cancellation proved inaccurate, his office would prosecute those violations and pursue an injunction to prohibit that event or any similar ones in the future.
