Road blocks/car searches

Think the car searches are pretty random. Couple of my mates were stopped on the way home from the festival last year and the police did a pretty thorough search, shoes and socks of etc. Dont know if they would take the time to do this on the way into the festival though?

Last year there was sniffer dogs at the entrance to the site, where you get given your wristbands.

There are obviously gonna be exceptions to the rule but the dogs are put there mainly as a deterrent, particularly given the fact they have drug amnesty bins!!

Folk will get randomly stopped and searched, and some will get caught. But the vast majority of those caught or even stopped and searched will be nowt to do with the sniffer dogs

My friend got pointed out by the dog last year. He didn't have anything on him but he did say he had been around hash a few days before etc.

While he was in the tent someone else was caught by the dogs and he had hash on him.

Don't know what my advice is with regards to it to be honest. It certainly seems like a risky idea.

A guy spoke to my mate and I this week, said that he got searched last year. He was walking through the gates, and the dogs were going towards him, so started to swallow the drugs he had on him, and ran back to the carpark. After that, the next time he tried to go in he got strip-searched! :lol::O

Anytime this kinda conversation comes up - i'm always reminded of RockNess & Howard Marks telling the story in Howards End about importing Lions Shit into the country.

Sniffer dogs & police outside the house & the dog refusing to go inside: "Here pal, you's can go in if you want - but I can smell a f**king lion shit, I ain't going in there"

The people I seen getting nabbed at the entrance were actively avoiding the dogs ie looked dodgy as f*ck, never actually seen the dog 'pointing' somebody out. Was just nervous behaviour and undercovers nabbing them.
