glastonbury- police searches

[swampy]

Last Glasto drove down in a car with mates from London, tootling along the 303 I imagine. Got stopped at the big search area. Copper walks up hands us a leaflet explaining what they're doing and offering us the chance to handover any drughs in an amnesty type way. He then swabs the steering wheel and takes it away to be analysed, luckily the driver is straight edge so we could go on our way. Scary though. Travelling by bus this year

The whole search area was pandemonium, dogs barking, people handing over bags of weed, people getting searched. Not a very relaxing way to enter in to the festival spirit!

Why are you going to put yourselves through all of this for a rediculously priced ticket to watch a fifth rate line up?

Why not stay at home and spend the money going to see a decent band.

Thay have bands there ?

I've often seen dogs at the gates of different festivals but I've NEVER actually seen the dogs go for anyone... considering the amount of people going into festivals with drugs on them you have thought I'd have seen at least one.

layers of clingfilm/vaseline/clingfilm and a good stash spot for your weed and anything else up your ass and you'll be fine...

im going to glasto hopefully pretty well stocked but i maintain my stance of NOTHING going up my arse.

last time i went 3 of us had 2 tickets, a vauxhall viva and an alsation and a jack russel and i was 7 months pregnant.

i ended up being driven in , at night, in the rain, under the dogs and swag in the back of the car .. cos i wasn't driving and i was smaller than pete, the other passenger.

we had ozs of all sorts on us and didn't even think twice about it .. didn't have to, it saddens me to see it now. i mean whats glastonbury without the drugs?

elvis costello was playing and it rained . a lot.

* wonders where pete is now*

that would be 20 years ago this festival. the choices were narrowing about then what with 85 etc..8.8.88 glastonbury was the place to be

hey johnny

if you get it in there it will only have come out of some strangers bum eh? better the bum you know...

........go the whole hog and buy the same bag of crisps on your way down keep the receipt and a few other purcahses...

ossiffer this receipt clearly indicates you're wasting your time looking for drugs here.

Like the breville tip though.

Ive worked with sniffer dogs, they can only really work for about 10 to 20 minutes every two hours. Its all about there concentration spans. They need a rest afterwards. They also tend not to work very well in the heat so often become ineffectual above 28C or there abouts (that will vary by breed). While not being an expert on them or having been a handler Id be amazed if they can focus in large noisey excitable crowds. Waiting for the buses of off the station people tend to be chatting but relaxed and not moving, walking towards the enterence I imagine everything is a lot more energised and bustling.

If your worried about dogs make sure youve got clean washed cloathes on, not the same trousers you had on when you had a spliff the night before.

Carrying drugs is a percentage game. All you can do is reduce the likihood youll get busted, you cannot eliminate it.

My concern is N2O, its totaly legal to posses and basicaly impossible to hide. But there is a now a clause in the liscencing agreement that any person in possetion of drugs will have there ticket removed and be ejected from the festival. Be a bitch if some over officious nob descides my whippets are an illegal drug (as they are illegal to sell) or I have far to many for personal use and rips up my ticket. I think I will forgo hiding 100 whippets up my arse all the same.

apparently someone at last year's vfest in chelmsford got chased down by police dogs at the gate. scary

I've driven down with various amounts of goodies eleven times and not been searched. I don't look straight and I don't drive straight looking vehicles.

My advice would be to stay safe thus ensuring a good festival by concentrating on a water tight secret hiding place rather than on the probability of being searched.

Thursday afternoon is usually the busiest hence safest time.

I've never had any problems with the Police on my way to glasto *touches wood*, as said before the A303 seems to be a hot spot, we always avoid that route.

Last year at Beautiful Days we had a pretty close call. Car was pulled over by OB and got a good searching, we had stacks on us as well. Fortunately we managed to balls it out and have a joke with the cops. We have some photos taken at the time of us and the cops, they are really blurred because my mate's hands were shaking so much at the time. Never again.

The sniffer dogs wont have have a chance. The whole place reeks of gange as soon as you reach the main gates.

Avoid the service service stations, be sensible where you stash your gear, and you wont have any probs imo.

Unless you're very very unluckly...

 

[UTJF]

Just say: yep there's my ID, no i ain't got no glass bottles. Ta very muchly!
