05 and 06 the only cops that I saw were there for the unlucky few who were chosen to get randomly searched at the gate. In 07 however I saw several people wearing POLICE shirts with radios on their belts. I also saw the Horse Patrol busting people.......it freaked me out.
Last year there was a substantial police presence as you entered including police k-9 units. Most vehicle searches will be conducted by private security however you may be "selected" for further search by local city and county police or even DEA.
Inside the Bonnaroo camping area you may occasionally see police however you are more likely to see private security on foot, on ATV's or on horseback.
Inside Centeroo police are only present if called in by event security or event management.
What I have noticed is that they are not looking for average people and are instead concentrating on the "big fish". If you are not doing anything to call attention to yourself you should be fine.
Even if you end up in a police search at the entrance they are only looking for quantity. Last year one of the vehicles in my group was thoroughly searched by the police and they had some things confiscated but did not even receive a citation.
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo
I was just joking with the statement, Iv been to 4 roos and while i have seen police rarely I have never actually had an encounter with them. *knock Knock

Last year all that happened is they looked in my trunk, cooler, and glove box. I wasn't hideing anything so it was all good. The guy next to us had brought some beer in glass bottles so when he saw he couldn't take them in, he drank them all before he left the checkpoint. I've never seen a guy go through a 12 pack so fast.

I was by myself last year bc my friends were coming from a completely different direction. I only saw one RV pulled over and getting searched on the way there (maybe there were more this is the one i remember) and my search by Bonnaroo security consisted of " do you have any glasss?" "no, do you need to look in my cooler?" "no, youre fine, her'es your bracelet and guide...". Granted, I didnt have anything on me that I shouldnt have, but that was the extent of it. The only police I saw inside the gates were the horse folks in red.
