    Sniffer Dogs at Glastonbury

    I've just had a phone call from Dub and police with dogs are going up and down the queues at Glastonbury specifically by the coaches.

    Many people have been nicked all ready.

    This has been a public service announcement. Be careful kids.

    Hmm... glasto's turned into virgin festival etc in most other ways so why is this surprising?

    I got a bit fucked off (when as a much younger and more angry man) at v2000 when i blagged some tix, and then got told *exactly* where i had to pitch my tent. then i got told i had to drink virgin cola..... they had dogs there, fortunatly id left my stash in the car.

    fast forward a coupla years and hey presto - im being told i have to buy budweiser at glasto (even backstage - tho that was at least free)....

    the things gone to shit - everyone knows it. any festy that u have to enter some kinda lottery, spend shedloads on the mobile, or be super net-savvy - then a looks contest (ok im exagging a bit now) fuckin sucks tho... i hated it last time.... never again..

    donnington - the metal one, is the dogs bollox now i reckon. download i think its called. now thats a party...

    Bristol's Ashton Court isn't far off going that way by the looks of things .. especially now it's being repackaged as "family-friendly".

    You would think the cops could do something better with their time than stopping people smoking ganja. (which, being very smelly, presumably accounts for 99 percent of sniffer dog detection)

    There is a large multi-agency sniffer dog breeding/training establishment near Bristol. Glastonbury would be a good training exercise for them.

    Does anyone know if sniffer dogs can smell drugs that have been wrapped up 3 times in tin foil and immersed in a shampoo bottle etc?

    I doubt it but I daresay the police are very grateful for all the information given on internet forums as to where people hide drugs.

    Well don't quote my post then innit.

    This sort of thing has been posted many times before, it won't be the first they've heard of it. And anyway they can't exactly go and empty out everyone's bottles of shampoo/creams etc

    Jeepers. That's a bit harsh. I always thought Mr Eavis was staunchly against things like sniffer dogs.

    I guess the size of the event and license ramifications and blah blah means it's abit out of his hands

    Why would anyone take shampoo to a festival? If I was a copper searching someone & they had shampoo I'd nick em just for that.

    dunno, but my recipe for sniffer dog avoidance would be to leave the stuff lying around for ages somewhere to lose it's odour. I recently flew to the US followed by 2 internal flights there. I got to Wisconsin and discovered a small bag of weed in my wallet

    I would not put a bet on it never happening, especially with liquid explosives and terrorism being flavour of the month.

    It may come as a shock but Glastonbury is not given diplomatic immunity from the law.
