Does anybody know about a jail near the airport?!?
Read on:
COPS on the Playa - READ THIS!!
undercover cops CAN and WILL lie to protect their identity...be VERY
paranoid!!
www.flexyourrights.org/freque...estions
you are NOT allowed to do ANYTHING illegal on the Playa. would you do
it on the streets of your own town - out in the open? (Hollywood and
Amsterdam not included) the Playa is a city - in America.
*don't forget this*
if you do so much as light up (even in the middle of the open playa -
they use nightscopes now - NOT kidding) or you serve someone who is
UNDERAGE alcohol...you are running the risk of being ticketed.
in order for you to stay at the event, you'll have to pay the ticket
at the makeshift jail next to the Airport where they fingerprint AND
photograph you. if you cannot pay or you don't have a friend who
will, you have to leave the Playa. NO EXCEPTIONS.
also, you need to carry your IDENTIFICATION on your person at ALL
times. imagine this (my friend had this happen): you get ticketed but
they need your ID. well, you've got handcuffs on and can't open your
cardoor to get your I.D. out of the glove compartment. also, they're
not really sure...if they took the cuffs off...would you freak out or
run away? well, of course, the law is MORE than happy to help out.
they open your glove compartment and find a big bag of mushrooms!! oh
shit. now you have a ticket for possession AND ALSO for intent to
distribute. now you're super fucked!! if only you would have used
your head.
sooo...if ANYONE asks you for drugs on the Playa...take a step back
and at the top of your lungs yell, "HEY EVERYONE...this person is
either STUPID or he's a NARC. stay away from him - he just asked me
for drugs!!" if they're just stupid - they will learn a lesson. if
it's a NARC - at least people know to avoid them in the area or they
might be watched by this person. even TRADING drugs is illegal...FYI.
the cops DO serve a purpose on the Playa, they can save your ass.
they caught a rapist last year who fled into a nearby camp. they keep
the peace and they follow the rules - THEY ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOBS.
be nice to them.
shut your RV door - they have to ask permission to enter. zip your
tent up - same rule applies. if they smell marijuana, they have
probable cause to enter without your permission, although it's more
difficult to do as they need to get a warrant. you don't have to let
them in without one.
you have the right to resist a search politely. you can say, "i'm
sorry but i never consent to any searches." whether or not you have
anything on your person, it's your right to say NO. they can get a
warrant and make you consent to a search, but it takes alot of time
and if you're nice to them, they'll probably leave you alone.
if your friend gets hassled, keep your mouth shut. don't interfere
because you can get ticketed for that, too. if you're caught with
something, don't say anything to incriminate yourself. ask for a
lawyer if you think you might need one. tickets aren't too horribly
expensive - $250 to $550 unless they arrest you, then it's more
because there's usually bail involved and for that they'll take you
into Reno for the night.
LISTEN UP PEOPLE - they drive Art Cars, for chrissakes!! they're Hot
Little Burner Chicks and they're dressed up in costumes. they've been
doing this FOR YEARS - and they probably have better costumes than
YOU do.
don't be a fucking idiot. don't party with people you don't already
know. they can befriend you, get some good info from you and arrest
you hours later. they can do drugs with you legally, and send the
cops to cuff you when you part company. they CAN and they WILL. don't
think you can "get away with it" because they're everywhere.
when you see them, say HI. if you have a BM trinket that you think
they might like (they all want trinkets from BM to give their friends
- it's a privilege to work at BM ;o) offer them one. they might offer
you a cool BLM blinky-pin. don't be a dick because you'll make it
worse for the rest of us. use your head, be very POLITE when you see
them, and remember they're just doing their jobs...you might make it
easier for the rest of us.
if they think of us more as humans instead of "Burners" they might
get a little lazy and not be so gung-ho about ticketing us. it can't
hurt. be safe!!

Re: Playa Fuzz
Wed, August 16, 2006 - 10:05 AMThere is no jail at Burningman. If you are arrested by BLM you go to a Federal lock up in Reno. If you are arrested by Pershing County Sheriffs office you go to jail in Lovelock. They do have a holding cell at Law Enforcement Camp, where you can be held prior to transport to one of the jails.
You are not just running the risk of being ticketed; you are running the risk of being arrested. These are crimes in the state of Nevada. It is at the discretion of the officer if he will do you the courtesy of issuing you a ticket. The law says you will be arrested and brought before the standing magistrate or incarcerated until you can be brought into court. Bail is set by the court to insure your appearance if you elect to not stay in jail until the court is in session.
All persons who clime to be 18 years of age or older must carry state or federally issued photo identification on them at all times while in public. If they do not have this identification they may be taken into protective custody until such time as their identification can be determined. It is the law of Nevada and was upheld in the US Supreme Court just two years ago.
If the police smell or see drugs being used they do not need a search warrant to search you. If you are in a vehicle or your camper or tent they do not need a search warrant to search your car or home. If they see you outside your car or home and you run into your car or home they do not need a search warrant. This is called the plain view doctrine and is the law of Nevada and it has also been upheld in the US Supreme Court.
The police may not do drugs with you. They can get them from you or give them to you but they cannot use the drugs them self’s. They can put you in jail for giving them drugs or they can put you in jail if you take drugs from them.
If you bring drugs to the playa or use drugs on the playa you run the risk of getting put in jail or prison for a very long time.
Make informed decisions and be ready to take the consequences for your decisions, don’t snivel if you break the law and get caught. -

Re: Playa Fuzz
Thu, August 17, 2006 - 10:21 AMLast year my buddy and I actually dressed up in SWAT gear and just sort of lurked around on the Playa. We got very, very strange looks. We actually kinda had to be careful not to screw around with anyone's good time. I guess the mere presence of a tactical assault team has negative effects on the party vibe.
For all y'alls who dress in totally absurd and extreme ways, trying to shock or get a reaction or proclaim yourselves "deviant"....try a SWAT outfit.
TB
ALSO, since I'm not going this year, maybe someone witha black helicopter wants to go on my Playa excursion with me ->
