Just heard from a friend of mine about his BM experience. An undercover sexy dressed cat woman kept asking my friend for drugs.. She would not leave… kept asking for different ones… friend didn’t have anything she mentioned. Finally he gave her something so she can move on. Instead she quickly called two backups near by. He got cuffed, drove 3 hours away in a van full of Burners. Posted bail days later, no one knew where he was. He got back back SUNDAY mid morning.
I’ve been 7 times my self, not a drug user, but a heavy drinker when I am there. I’m going to ask ID to anyone asking for BOOZE! F*** TP!

This was my first year at Burning Man and as soon as I entered the gates I felt like I was going into a police state. My friend and I were pulled over and they immediately started to search the car with the drug dog. They found some Loritabs that were prescribed to me and the prescrption was on the bottle but because I had mixed other medications (800 mg Ibuprofen) with the Loritabs they took the bottle and charged me with Possession of a Controlled Substance. Not only that but the police officers were very rude the entire time and they ransacked everything in the car just assuming that we had drugs. They also told me that I would have to come back to Reno to fight the ticket and so I might as well just pay it. So basically I am going to have to pay thousands of dollars to get a lawyer and go to court just to prove that I am innocent.

Colbyman. Your distaste for cops probably has to do with the fact that you are a dirt bag. Cops like to check out dirt bags because they tend to be criminals.
Now since we are on the subject of the blm and them being cool with you. Its prob just that they are used to dealing with desert rats and dirt bags so you fit in.
You cause trouble, you get beat down. Its just the way it is. Speaking of which. Just awesome! Broke ass California is now making it legal for illegal aliens to go to school her on the tax payers buck. Why the hell does ca keep digging a hole for it to die in. Why are people so blind

I operate a website that refers local people to local lawyers. The service is free to the community. If you happen to find yourself in trouble, please call us and we’ll get you an attorney to help right away. We have pre-screened all of the attorneys so you can be sure they are trustworthy. They are only Nevada lawyers that specialize in handling Burning Man cases. They have had great success in the past in getting charges reduced or in some cases, dropped all together. It’s important to get an attorney from the Lovelock/Pershing county area that knows the judges and the judicial system. Check out http://www.attorneyguide.com or call me at 775 842 3016. Ask for CJ.

This is how I see it….Nevada is a no tolerance state…no stems or seeds…..we all should know this if deciding to indulge. The law enforcement over the last 2 years have, instead of taking you to jail, been issuing tickets. $500 fine and confiscation of your drugs is a slap on the hand compared to jail, returning from where ever you are from to go to court, and dealing with the consequences. I think it is a better trade-off for sure. I haven’t heard of fines for pot….just the dumping and stomping of it into the playa. I was told to keep it in camp, never in the open….kinda like partying at home and then going out….you don’t walk around your hometown popping pills or smoking joints (usually) so why do it here. Freedom of self-expression not freedom to break the law.
