Something tells me most of the narcs aren't doing it because they were/are being forced to do it by their department

Most of them do it because they personally take some kind of sick and twisted satisfaction out of it

Sure perhaps there are a few select minority among them who happen to feel remorseful for their actions but in my opinion they aren't any better for it because in the end they're still perpetuating the same shitty worthless game regardless of how they personally feel about it

Was at Aura this weekend to, luckily had no problems, but the guy camped next to me had 6 cops surround his campsite when he was filling up his pen. They where hiding in the dark. I'm sure some cops don't enjoy busting kids for having a good time but there also is a lot of sketchy shit that goes down at Suwannee. Its one of the shitty realities of the Suwannee, everyone is doing a lot of illegal shit.

Lol @ 6 cops hiding in the dark to book someone over hash oil at a festival. This thread sux, I'm glad I didn't come across too much LEO BS at Hulaween. Having second thoughts about Wanee fest now though. The cops in the OP would quit their jobs if they were worthwhile human beings.

I don't know what everyone else is talking about but the cops have always been so damn cool at Suwannee. At least with me.

During the first morning of Hulaween I had to walk to the general store to grab some ice, still incredibly fucked up. It was right as the sun was rising and everyone that had tripped the night before seemed to be wondering the grounds with joy.

Anyways, I get myself to the store which must have been at least a mile away, two 10lb bags of ice thrown over my shoulders, ready to get back to camp. Unfortunately I got incredibly lost over by where the expensive RV's are parked.

30 minutes after wandering, ice melting all over me, I see a cop next to his squad car. I go over there and ask him if he knows how to get back to campsite E. The cop points to his golf cart, tells me to get in, and off we went.
It was a good 15 minute ride back to camp and this guy had nothing but pleasant things to say to my scrambled brains including "just you and your friends be careful buying stuff out here. You can't know if it's real."



And in response to whoever said they smoke blunts, bongs, snort lines of coke, etc in broad daylight. That's very true from what I've seen.
The camp directly behind me consisted of a couple acquaintances and about 10 random heads. No matter what time of day or night there was a plethora of drugs out there in the open. Within viewing distance of one of the main paths nonetheless. Still, no cops fucked with them/us.

Suwannee is a special place. Wannee is going to be another magical weekend.
You better come, Sheeks!

Oftentimes it was the very same dealers who helped them get addicted to heroin in the first place

All they care about is turning a profit, they don't care if what they're selling makes people sick or kills people or turns people into shells of who they once were.. they are not in the same boat as people at festivals selling weed or psychedelics to fellow like-minded psychonauts.. they are predators preying on the feeble minds of junkies and the naive who don't know any better

The cops in uniform there are AWESOME. I've had good conversations with all of the ones I've talked to for more than a minute.

At Aura last year they had the "Yes on 2" campaigners working which is for getting mmj in Florida and a cop jumped off his golf cart to sign the petition. While doing it he said, "Hey man, if it weren't for the uniform I'd definitely be doing it myself". This was so perfectly timed as my close minded ass girlfriend wouldn't sign the petition herself lol.

Normally I don't feel comfortable talking to cops no matter how innocent I am but I love talking to the Suwannee cops in uniform. Very positive people and friends with all of the staff at the park.

Have you ever thought that maybe they're trying to get some info out of you about what people are doing/what you're doing/or what you've seen going on at the festival by what they probably perceive as "some festival hippie". Just a thought. I'm sure there's had to have been some stupid hippie kids who've slipped up and accidentally said something they shouldn't have when having a conversation with a cop at some festival.

Narcs at festivals deserve no sympathy

Anyone who would be willing to fuck another human being's life up for the sake of meeting a quota is a piece of shit in my book

Busting heroin dealers and shit is one thing but busting people who aren't hurting others with what they're selling is just wrong
