John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
Yeah, what they said. If you're cool, they're cool. The whole vibe is just warm and welcoming...just don't be stupid and EVERYONE will be riding a wave of good vibes and AWESOME music. CU@Roo
Last year waiting on Bushy Branch the cops zoomed up and down the road on 4 wheelers, checking out everyone, cool like. The ppl that were pulled over at the gates for a thorough searching were all acting like dumbshits in line.
The party starts once you get into roo, not before.
After waiting all this time, what's a couple hours?
short answer...no. but you'll see when you get there that they really care about the important things like safety. just don't be an idiot...in a safety threatening way that is...

^well said. we usually have a couple waiting for the gates to open when waiting in a lot, both times by the wine store. nothing stupid cause gotta be able to get tent and shit up quick to stake claim and wanna make sure to get in and whatnot. i dont know if that made any sense.

I can say that i actually...."sat in a circle and talked"...with some of the safety staff last year when they were off duty...You shouldn't have any worries once you've crossed the borders...not that there are any druqs at B'roo anyway...

Ive seen boys at roo. They usually chill on the long, white, rocky road that takes you to the camp sites behind the lake (where I've been conveniently camped the last two years). I think I only saw them last year though.
One thing I noticed, they might fvck with you the first day, and they might fvck with you the last day. Two years ago or maybe last year, I cant remember, there was a dude with a backpack walking and the boys tackled and arrested him. I guess they must have known he was slangin' something.
But Ive never seen a boy walking through the campsites. Not to say that it for sure wouldn't happen, but the campsites are fair game for just about anything.
You have to remember folks, that Bushy Branch road is not Bonnaroo property. It is considered a county road and the real cops patrol that road diligently!
On either side of it, inside the camping areas, you are on Bonnaroo property. Remember, if you have to cross Bushy Branch road to get back to your campsite, be careful cause they can get you as soon as you walk outta that gate!
We saw a guy get taken down last year by 4 cops. He tried to run from them and as soon as he took off, he threw his contraban over the fence into the roo area, took off running, but only made it about 5 steps and was tackled (hard) by 4 Coffee County deputies.
The cops could see his stash over the fence, but could not go in and get it.
Last year I was walking down Shakedown late, and before the security came down the street (on horse back) they blew their whistles a couple times. Kinda giving everyone the heads up.

the "cops" inside bonnaroo are actually some of the nicest people I've met at Roo.. think about it, they give up their time to come make sure 90,000 people are being safe. They don't get paid, and are really putting their life on the line. We out number them probably at least 100 to 1. But yet they still manage to make Bonnaroo the safest and funnest place on earth.
like someone else said, as long as you're not being stupid they will not mess with you.
Yeah, I know, but since I'm in charge, I can do what I want, he he he he (In my best Bush voice) ;D ;D ;D I kid, I kid!
You are the Decider.

They don't get paid? Are you talking about the mounted patrol?

One time, we were walking down Shakedown #2, past the boardwalk, back towards our campsite when we heard someone yell "HEY, GET THE F*CK BACK HERE" then we heard about four or five ptsssssssssssssssss (balloons with nitrous being let out) and this kid barged right through our group and took off through the tents with a guy on a four wheeler chasing after him. It was kinda humorous.

ok, the cops monitoring the lines (while you are in your cars) really just want you to stay in your car and as was said earlier, "not act like idiots". I did see very real cops with two guys on the ground in very real handcuffs just 50 yards or so off of shakedown. somewhat close to the arch entrance. don't know what they did, but they were there, amongst the tents. just be aware of your surroundings and you should be fine. I have a feeling these guys may have been a special case, but none the less.
