Yeah, the guys at Waka aren't cops, just security. And they are only there for safety, not enforcement of any kind.
Lol at alligator garfish
I only went in 2010, but I def saw cops in the main campground on Shakedown after Panic. There was some major wookie/lotkid thieving/domestic violence drama going down that I watched for a little while as I was killing time before the biggest disappointment ever: Wookiefoot.
spot on. when po po's start confiscating my flask inside the gates after i went through the trouble to sneak it in maybe ill join the club.
Good on you for getting a flask into Hangout. I only went in Sunday this year and they searched me so hard, they def would have found it.
I bring a flask of Captain Morgan to most public places too. I might have to just start using one of those bags I can put in my crotch since everywhere is searching so hard it seems.
I bring a plastic clear flask pouch everyday the past 4 Years. Just throw it in the bag. worst case scenario I'm out 18oz of titos but that hasn't happend yet. If they did find it just gotta pound it at the gate and enjoy your day.
Nashville Bridgestone's Security was pretty chilled for the Dead and Company show. Enough weed and smoke in the room to treat everyone to a case of red-eyes and munchies. Used metal detectors and asked folks to open their bags. Didn't notice a lot of frisking going on. Agree that Hangout's screening is pretty random, which is event security 101. I'm OK with the metal detectors and want to have less groping going on. Disney installed those walk thru devices like at airports. That will probably be the next thing at concerts and the ticket prices will reflect that added cost.
Looked like a dude nearly got his arm broken while getting hauled off after lighting a J at Bone in 2014. Most intrusive GA entrance there is.
Truth! I mean even when I did VIP it was serious shakedown. They even lifted the bottom of my bra so if anything was in there it would fall out. Fucking crazy. I have never seen anyone get arrested, but I have seen people OD'ing there. Strapped down and foaming at the mouth, which is why they are so harsh on searching.

Did you even go in 14? I talked to security head and bitched at them in 2014, and he said anyone you saw getting arrested was for working. Everyone else they hassled was simply told to put it out Also Fess Security handles Buku and now Hangout thus the over groping

:dunce: 2014 was the year you insisted on leaving Pusha T so you could check out Ellie Goulding.
And don't be beachbob-styled e-knighting for your favorite fest just because a less-than-glowing review of festival security gets you all red-faced. :nono:

"When will now be then..........soon"
In the spirit of the new Star Wars movie coming out today, a little Spaceballs reference. Still can't figure out how to add an image. The meme would of been better
The problem is that you were trying to an link an image from an ancient hosting service called photobucket that doesn't play well with others. I even removed the .html shit after the end of the image link and it still didn't work.

Lol. Cops at Hangout have been hit and miss. There have been years of limited enforcement and years of roaming K9s. Just the same, you can usually do whatever you want without too much hassle. But I have seen some obnoxious enforcement there too. I was at the back of the Boom tent one year and this guy lights up a gar. Cop asks him, "is that one of those good ones?" Guy tells him yes, and cop gets interested and moves in only for him to explain its an actual fine cigar. Haha. Last year of two, they have been a little more reasonable, but it's still Baldwin County. No two fests are the same and most generally reflect their locales. Nobody is getting arrested at Jazzfest. Wakarusa doesn't have police once you get in. Buku arrests only "workers". SoSMP has cops and undercovers and will arrest. Bonnaroo as well, but it's low hanging fruit there. It really just depends. And for those who keep shit chill, it's remote that anyone is going to care. Same goes for Hangout, although it troubles me that they are banning e joes this year. A lot of people have taken to those to kick their cigarette habits, and it's unfortunate that all such devices are alleged to be banned this year. It's likely my last year anyway, so Idgaf about the future. But it's still Dick of them.
I have seen people get arrest at Jazzfest, but they were on PCP and running around naked and it was like 10 years ago. We didn't see any cops really at Bonnaroo, but I also do VIP and I hear that they are mostly in the GA tent area. IDK if that is true or not.
I hate that they are banning the e-cig, but I get why. So many vapers look like e-cigs that it is too hard to distinguish between the two. Jeremy only vapes and it is a hassle to smuggle in his vape.
We were in VIP this year at Bonnaroo and except for the occasional stroll through, no one got messed with that I saw. Same went pretty much for inside the fest. In 12 in GA, there were uniforms on horses, 4wheelers and foot, but the only time we saw them pounce was if money came out. There was one girl walking down the street who ran into her friend who wanted to borrow 10. She took out her money and they swooped in. Everything worked out after a thorough search, but they clearly were watching. I know the new DA or sheriff or whatever did away (or said he was doing away) with the buy your way out of trouble for several grand. And there are always arrest stories. But one would have to be pretty blatant or really unlucky to get hauled in at Bonnaroo. Jmo.

Wow,can't we all get along. After reading the last 2 pages I think everyone needs to have a drink or burn one or BOTH, chill out it's Friday. We all love music & agree security could ease up on those looking to have fun and not hurt anyone. But we all know with the way the world is today, security is needed for everyone's safety. A lot of stupid fucked up people out there.

Agreed. Please check everyone for weapons. I don't need drunk, crazy folks trying to take out the crowd. Please also arrest crazy assholes beating their women in the crowd like at QotSA 2014. Everyone else is cool.

Even local e-cigs users that are laughing at Hangout's selection of Pop, EDM, or drunk aunt rock?

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say here. I was speaking of festivals in general. Basically, I think security should be there to keep people safe. Period. People should be able to imbibe in whatever they want as long as they aren't hurting anyone.
Edit: Ohhhhh! You were referring to yourself. In the context of my comment, yes, even annoying people are "cool". It's a free country, supposedly.
