chose not to go to bonnaroo this year, and was reading on another board about how they brought in drug dogs to do random car searches at bonnaroo this year? can anyone confirm this?
same message posted on another list o' mine... see this article: http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050605/ENTERTAINMENT0104/506050392
i just got back from bonnaroo today and they didnt really search cars....they had staff walkin around when you were waiting in lines to get your braclets and they would randomly ask cars to open up their trunks....they took a quick look..and that was about all....i did see them takin a few peoples glass beer bottles
I went VIP and there was no searching at all. Not to get into the campsite or to get into centeroo. I guess that is the perk for VIP. LOL. The rest of it sucked.
yeah. there deff. were random searches and drug dogs.... my friend was put in jail. they did however seem to wish to just scare festival goers, and werent seriously trying to eradicate drugs.
there was no searching once we got there but in good ole tennessee it's against the law to wear your not wear your seatbelt and this asshole cop pulled us for that and searched out car for an hour looking for drugs because we were going to bonnaroo, we had one bowl packed and stashed it in a pillow and an hour after they demolished our packing order they found 2 boxes of beer and wrote us a ticket for minor possession... it was shitty but we were mad lucky cause they had like 5 cops out there and a drug dog... gotta be careful, but as far as at bonnaroo, didn't get searched once.
We didn't get our car searched at all. I didn't even see any searches. One of the people that we came with was in centeroo trying to buy some rolls off a dude and a cop came up to him and told him to give the pills back, the pusher to give the money back and for him to leave the area. So he did. But this leads me to believe that the cops and some of the pushers work together though. The dude selling did not get asked to leave, nor get his shit taken away.
they searched my backpack going into center roo and found some of my hash brownies. The chick was like "are these brownie brownies, or broooownie brownies." haha. I told her they were just brownie brownies and she let me go. I had all types of shit in my bra though. They weren't really patting the chicks down. Man, im still on bonnaroo time, i wanna go back.
