arrested at coachella

[Mr.Nipples]

most cops bother me...

[Basskitten85]

Seen alot gettting arrested but be smart and that shit wont happen too you.

[neverclever]

JOINTS AND SWALLOW. WEEEEE!

[beavington]

Yeah, good thing it worked out in the end. This just goes to show that discretion is a must when smoking or using drugz at Coachella.

although i think this claim could be extended to fit your life as a whole.

[SFChrissy]

i drove 90 miles an hour to work today. didnt get pulled over. guess that means its ok to speeeeeeeed. helllz ya


kidding of course. not like a cop was trying to race me..

In the fucking rain...that sounds real safe!!!

[SFChrissy]

I hate being stingy but it looks like in this case I better definately not share this year!!!

[Blintz]

seriously, unless your drug activities at a concert take place in the middle of a crowd, you're asking for trouble. I don't get the impression that coachella wants to bust everyone for drugs (given the ease with which I was able to take e and spliffs through security), but they don't want to have drug use obvious to the casual observer. be discrete, and it'll help them out too. if the cops have a quota to keep up, let them bust the dumbasses

I've seen stuff like these stories happen in every year of Coachella. One year a buddy got arrested because two hot chicks asked him for a hit off of his joint. Of course he said yes, they were very hot. Then they offered him 20 bucks, he said no... but he was also talking to another person, then one of the girls comes back with a $20 in her hand and hands it over to my buddy. He just grabbed it, who wouldn't grab a $20 bill from a hot chick. Less than 3 seconds later he got pulled out of the crowd in the Sahara tent and handcuffed with those lame plastic things. He spent about 10 hrs in jail. Since he wasn't a citizen or resident or anything like that, the cops let him go with a warning (lucky for him)

Moral of the story:

Don't do drugs at the festivla (you probably won't pay attention to this part)

If you are going to do drugs, do it on your own or with people you know. Don't share with strangers.

[Hawkings]

I remember the ever shrinking circle tent party

[SneakySneak]

Wow the fuzz are using hot chicks as narcs now? Did they have to pull them from the vice squad?

[counterculturecouture]

so what happens if they just see you blazing? can they arrest you just for possession?

[Memorial_07]

save that for the camp grounds or before you get in.
From the Minor Threat song "Out of Step"

"Don't Smoke!
Don't Drink!"

[Tijuana]

They probably wouldn't because they have bigger fish to fry (other people commiting more serious crimes like "selling" drugs") but you never know. You might come across some douche bag who just wants to arrest somebody, then you will get in trouble.

[BlackSteve0]

This shit is especially scary to read for us non-Americans. I don't wanna wind up in Guantanamo Bay or whatever scary prison you Yankees have built now.

We wont put Canadians in prison, we just exterminate them.

For the record I love you Canadians.

so if anybody offers you 20 bucks for a hit of weed

RUN

[MonsoonSeason]

also did they actually smoke it?

so your saying bring your passport from the other country if you have dual citizenship

Last year on Friday night, right before Marley, I think, I took a hit off of my pipe and handed to the dude next to me. My radar is usually honed in looking for cops, but I must have been a bit off because as I blow out the smoke I look up and there are 3 County Sheriffs hovering over me. The guy who was in charge looked down at me, smiled, and said "puff, puff, give!" and walked away. I shit you not. The county Sheriffs all seemed pretty cool, but the city cops are assholes.

The next day I must have let my guard down because they found one small bud on me as I entered the show through security. I didn't even know I had it, as it was in the coin pocket of my pants and it was so freakin small. It was leftover from the night before. Anyway, the security guy finds it and walks me over to the local cop. I break out my perscription and show it to him and the cop just laughs in my face. He takes the bud, takes the ticket, gives me a shit-eating grin and says "bye bye" and kicks me out of the show. Fortunately, I scalped another ticket for $50 and was back inside within half an hour.

Moral of the story; County Sheriffs are pretty cool and not there to just fuck with people. Local cops are redneck fucks.

[Tijuana]

Who gives a fuck if they smoked it or not. The point is he got arrested for taking money after sharing drugs. You want to take it up with the cops and get technical about it, then go ahead and try it out yourself.

[NiceArthur32]

Canada doesn't even have prisons!

Living in Canada is punishment alone.

I give a fuck because that's really the only interesting part of the story

quit griping

[silentsipher]

Yeah I nearly got busted by some under cover cops right before Tiesto. I think the only thing that saved me is that I kept telling them I didn't want any money for the joint I had just given them (that'll teach me) and then I moved to a different spot as soon as the dj started up.

I'm gonna jump on the band wagon too. Not gonna share any of my shit this time around, even though last year I ended up splitting a joint with some pretty rad ladies who were very excited about Benny Benassi.

[SubBass49]

Sounds like if you're gonna share, do it of your own choice...not because someone asks you. It's pretty unlikely you'll get busted if it's just a pass-around situation...

[Astrid]

dammn. i wasn't aware security was that hardcore. i've blazed all over the place without a care in the world. hmmm...mental note: disregard santa cruz mentality. desert cops are dicks.

[airguitarvet]

yuyp

[Sonicifyouwantit]

of course you can always ask, are you a cop? that'll end the entrapment right then and there.

[Jagh20]

of course you can always ask, are you a cop? that'll end the entrapment right then and there.

Sure it will......and cops never lie.....

[Lurker_in_a_tree]

Unbelievable that people still believe this.

[TheWatcher]

almost go arrested in that giant circle thing that spirals inwardm you know if you were there, anyway just sitting there smoking, i had a ridiculous amount of weed (not going to say how much cause you'll just say that i am stupid, which looking back on it omfg bad idea) but i was going to trade it for k at the place with my friend who i could not meet before, anyways, cops roll in there all quick like i stashed the weed in an empty gatorade bottle before they came, when i saw cops i put it in my bag and started walking away leaving my bag for some weird fucking reason that im now happy for, cops stops me cause he said he saw me smoke some "maji-huana", he said it just like manu chao, and had reason to search me anyways he cuffed me and then searched me i didnt have anything in my pockets thank god, they didnt search the backpack i asked if they were charging me with anything they seemed frustrated took like 3 other people in that place away along with some fatchick who tried to make a run for it and totally got tackled it was intense, but they finally let me go (i was pretty drunk cant really remember too well its been almost a year) but i do remember standing up and being uncuffed and right as i got my hands free, arcade fire blaring in the backround just started playing rebellion(lies), it was rather monumental.

It was really weird, I kept seeing police officers walking toward the spiral thing with a funny look on their face, kind of tired and dazed, like they really did not know what to make of the place.

I guess if I had been arrested it would not have been as funny...

[JClemy]

yea getting arrested is not fun. The back seat of the car is crazy tiny!
