Because freetekno parties are usually held illegally this sometimes leads to clashes with the police, as was the case at both the 2004 and 2005 Czechtek festivals and many other, smaller parties around the world at different times.
Freetekno events do not always play spine-crunching, brain melting, ear-drum shattering hardcore, though; Psychedelic trance, drum and bass, Breakbeats, Electro, world beat, house, and many types of experimental fusion music are also popular at freetekno events.

 MANIFESTO – My personal opinion about the Czech freetekno scene
Maybe it would be useful to think about the origins of freetekno movement and what are the basic ideas of this movement.
Freetekno is not about excess of booze and drugs.
It is OK to drink or smoke reasonably at the event, but this does not mean, that someone will eat the contents of his Mum´s medicine cabinet on Friday evening and then proceed to annoy others at the party running by naked against the wall.

There is no need for a soundsystem census; once you've found the teknode you are sure to find a system near you.
Soundsystems rely on makeshift bars vending a plethora of beverages and food to support the high cost of sound and maintenance as well as traveling to the gatherings.
Not necessarily; what the teknivals need more than anything are more conscious party people willing to motivate the adventure of the teknival, to move and dance for days in front of walls of sound for little or no money, to keep growing safely and independently into a festival open to all tribes and cultures.

 Toronto Freetekno Crew: page on Beyond TV
Inspired by the Freetekno scene in Europe (www.network23.org/) which started off as a reaction to the growing commercialization of the old Rave scene.
As a result of that, freetekno promotes a do it yourself attitude where everything can be done cheaply by avoiding paid professionals (superstar DJs, expensive sound and lighting crews, etc) and corporate venues.
Often though, soundsystems help each other throw their own events and work together to spread the word about them.

These musings aside, I still feel these (freetekno or even better music) kinds of release are really important to people.
I also want to note that the music (the soundsystem nearby) changes to jungle precisely as the first pops of teargas canisters being shot towards the crowd goes off.
As the first gas (that most-favorite Gift from police to crowds) starts to reach the people, the dancers twist down a bit and put their faces in their hands, the soundsystem drops out, the video shifts, and then the bass and skitter of dubsounds filter through for a moment.

At the beginning the police advanced with water cannons and tear gas, and always there, where they wanted to advance strategically, I saw the first people with scratches from the explosions and occasionally under a policeman’s knee was someone with a broken head.
There were a lot of people already at the soundsystems ready to stand their ground, and when they found out that the police were not playing nice, they were ready to fight anyone.
The first skirmish stayed in its place and among people sitting at the soundsystems, under tents and in cars, one tear gas canister after another went off.
