There was talk of security horror stories right after Roo on this board, but I had absolutely no problems. Lax search going in, didn't have anything taken from me the whole weekend (not that there was anything to take...) and only saw the typical 2-4 mounties.
Unfortunately, as Bonnaroo gets bigger, and it does every year, more attention is paid to what goes on there. Drugs are illegal, and Bonnaroo has to cooperate with the police in order to at least keep it in control or else there would be no more Bonnaroo.
That being said, I think that the horror stories were still the exception, not the rule, and that a lot of claims were massively exaggerated by people.

There is a thread for this in the That Tent Forum, I believe. But for the record, I feel like I saw less mounties, but I was a victim of the DTF search upon entry. But its random, I don't think it was any worse than 09, I just happened to be in the car that got the detailed search. Came out unscathed though and got one of the best possible camping spots, so its all good.

damn dude thats awful. Yea they went through my wallet too, found some papers and started asking more questions, but eventually they gave up. More bs was that they guys we caravaned in with pulled off behind us when we came in and the DTF guys were like "oh are you with them? mind if we search you too?" lame, but they went pretty easy on them.
last yeAR Friday morning i saw tents being raided in ga with dogs and people lined up on the fence in cuffs...i don't know if they were dealing or what but that was the biggest mishap i saw normal amount of mounties..and of course the lines into center..same ol' matters whose in a bad mood and what not
my wife and i were in camp chewbacca and only seen the mounted security. i had heard there was a stronger police presence near bushy branch road and that seems to be where most of the horror stories took place. i think i was more afraid of being run over by a golf cart than getting harassed by law enforcement.
