never in my life have i ever seen so many cops at a festival. random campsite searches. flashlight pupal checks upon entry. 1000 dollar bond for pot. it was the scariest weekend ever they were running the place. pat down searches for no reason. i was arrested within an hour and a half of being there for selling beer. not a ticket ... ARRESTED... taken to jail. there were kids in there for having a beer in there hand.

Mega lame.
What is the deal with Waka? Everybody heard about this shit in advance, check points and all that.
Anyone know, specifically, why THIS festival seems to have been a target? Is it just the first of many future ruined festivals to come?

That's totally fucked...
That's why I wont go to a fest in kansas. Regarding the right to unlawful searches and seizures... more people need to learn and exercise their rights. Cop tells you something intimidating and most people just fold over.

let me let you in on a festival secret, the dea agents at bonnaroo and every other festival? they are given free tickets form the promoters. yes thats right suprefly and all the other promoters and event throwers, SIT DOWN WITH THE DEA. aThey have a meeting. They coordinate places for the agents to make a base on site and so on and so forth.
its the sort of deal that has to be made for these things to happen. While festivals like bonnaroo have leway, as they bring shit tons of business to manchester and the surronding areas. They can say, well we can only provide space for so and so many agents, thus controlling the amount let in. this power is increased by the fact that they are on provate land as well.
Now take WAKA, held on a PUBLIC park, the state can do whatever the fuck they want, as its a state run park. not a good place for a festival..... no leway, no rights.

Some people missed this apparently - http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2006/may/04.../?wakarusa_2006
Also it's worth noting that the DEA and FBI were behind the "license and registration checkpoints"...

Also bonnaroo hires one of the best security forces in the nation, and tells the cops WEe can handle it.
did you know that the largest free standing calvary ever assembled in america, since colonial war times, was at bonaroo?! yeah.
the fact that that article said that they were only spending $100,000 on security, for 15000 people, $6 a head, is probably why they had this issue. it costs alot more to secure a festival of that size.... for shame

Being arrested is never something to be proud of unless you got arrested protesting something you firmly believe in.
I just talked to AniNator, she said it was sketchy as all hell but she's fine.

Well, getting high at wakarusa in spite of the police state status there could be considered as a form of protest.
In fact whenever anyone gets high at all they are protesting the laws.

Some people are Dumb! A state park it's the same reason i wont go to Langerado.Samething happend at JamCruise last year.The funny thing is that cops always warn before hand and people still go. If people where smart they would just avoid going altoghether and force promoters pick better places.

I enjoyed myself immensely at Wakarusa. Yes there were over 70+ arrests that weekend but hey i travel light to shows.
We even drank to cases of 16 ounce glass bottles. One cop told me to throw a bottle out. I was like OK.
One cop did almost tackle me for sitting on the back of a car. The car was moving and he told me to get off. I said Sure just let the car stop and i will hop off. He totally rushes me saying you don't have one second!!!!!
I hope all the people they arrested where selling coke and heroin, but then again i am sure there were lots of other casualties to.
People got to understand that just because we go to see music or a festival that the rules we live by don't cease to exist. But nope sorry it doesn't work like that.

i was arrested , and by arrested i mean arrested not a ticket, for selling beer. and as far as the 70 arrests. when i was in jail i had to wait for 263 people to get processed before me. and that was with in an hour and a half of the first day. and they were bring lots of people in after me not to mention sat and sun. there were people in there for having one beer in there hand and being under age. under a gram of pot 1000 dollar bail. one kid was puffing in his tent and the cops opened his tent then searched his hole site and found an ounce of mushies and a half sheet of L. 90 percent of the people i talked to was for L or Fungus possession not distribution..... you got lucky
