he is even trying to get a reality show off the ground where he busts cops haha dont know much about that though

Former drug cop turned marijuana activist Barry Cooper was arrested on Friday, July 2, 2010, after turning himself in for a warrant related to a Class B misdemeanor charge out of Odessa, Texas, where he and fellow 'KopBusters' detectives set up a fake marijuana grow house and baited officers to raid it in Dec. 2008.

slightly off topic but i wanted to share my experience with everyone in the hope it may help someone in the future..................

I got my collar felt at lovebox this year at Victoria park London. i watched for half hour as the police were catching bout 1 in every 15!!!! when all the dog handlers had made quite a few finds they all made there way to the processing tent. i jumped in the cue when the coast was clear and thought I'd be ok. unfortunatly my all weekend wrist band was slightly folded and the guy with the scanner took an age to get my ticket validated, after about 5 mins i was finally through but unfortunatly the dogs were back out by this time and the tent was right next to the entrance gates.

The femle handler must have been at least 20 yards from me but had a very long retractable lead the dog headed straight for me and started sniffing around my crutch i knew the game was up straight away, I had four different substances on me that was wrapped in at least three bags but that lab cross knew straight away and headed straight for me !!!

The police explained that i was being searched as i had been positivly identified by a drug detection dog and it didn't necaserilly mean i was carrying as i may have been holding something earlierin the day or weedsmoke on my clothes............To cut a long story short i was strip searched even though i told them i had summin balls uped, I got nicked, fingerprint dna and had an on the spot drug test which was positive, which i said was from the night before.

I was taken to the desk sergent who asked the police who nicked me what he wanted to do and he said cos i was co-operative let him off with thw 3 class-A and bollock him forthe weed!!!!!!! yes you read correctly!!! (there are a few good ones) i was speechless and said WHAT to which he replied we can do it the other way if you like!!! i said ill take the caution but conditions were to see a drug counciler immediatly at the venue and then see a local one in my area on the next friday which i had to go to.
If you skip this a warrent is issued and you will be arrested and charged at a later date.

The police man then went to escort me from the venue but i asked him to let me back in he said he'd do what he could as i seemed adecent bloke, as we were walking back to venue (away from the ejection exit) another copper said where are you going with him? and he said back to his girlfriend who is waiting for her phone and some money, when we passed he said go on quick loose yourself. Also before i saw desk serg he told me to hide my wristband from the desk sarg as they would cut it off, as he knew i would try and get back in.

While arrested i asked him and the handler (who came in about 10 mins later for the dog to have a rest) some questions to which i was suprised they answered as itwill help me next time and confirmed what i already knew, If sealed properley the dog doesn't always smell the drugs just whats on the outside of the bag as you've handled the outside of the packaging!!!
I've been doing this 15 years and this is the first time i got arrested i guessi was slipping, and i was having a smoke whilst bagging up some of my gear.

Lessons learnt bag up all your shit with latex gloves with no traces of contraband on the outside of your bags then finish off with a smell proof bag!!! as long as you do this and hve not been near anyone smoking you shouldn't have any problems!!!

They had it on lockdown at lovebox this year and next year i'll be thinking hard weather to take any or get in there (which i never do) I've never seen a police op like it, and must have seen at least 30 people got arrested from the time i came out the search tent to the processing and drug test. and i reckon it had something to do with crunching numbers cos it seemed to me they were only intrested in weed figures!!! and when i mentioned this to the desk serg he said your not stupid are you so theres a clue..........

I've read a few places that they dont nick many peeps as they can't handle the numbers, well they can when they do it like that and i reckon we'll be seeing more like it as they were filming it and it was a big success in their eyes! so festivl goers be carefull and try and stay a stepahead.

2 days time its SW4 I'll be a lot more carefull and will let you know how things go...

be lucky!!!

I'm looking to take some pills to Global gathering, I was thinking of bagging them up, couple of condoms and putting them in a shampoo bottle, are they more sensitive to amphetamines over weed?

shampoo would probably burn the fuck out of your asshole.. I wouldn't know.... but when I was a kid I jerked off with shampoo and I do know that is an unpleasant experience.

Recently, a drug dog "noticed" me on a train from amsterdam to paris while I was sleeping. I woke up to a drug dog sniffing & pawing at my crotch but luckily we had nothing on us and we just had residual scents. The convo was really funny though.
"Do you guys have any drugs on you?"
"No."
"Did you do any drugs while in amsterdam?"
"Yes."
"Alright, thanks for being cooperative"

Those dogs are very good at what they're trained to do and I wouldn't try to fool them unless absolutely necessary!

Pretend to be blind and bring a "seeing eye dog". The cops will just assume the dogs going nuts over the other dog. Also they'd probably assume it'd be rather difficult to find drugs when you can't see..

So you think being blind gets you drug bust immunity...oh look at that poor little blind guy, he certainly couldn't use his phone to find a friend to bring him some weed let's just leave him be...
I don't think it goes down like that..although who is going to harass a blind guy for a little pot?

I've watched Barry Cooper's video and he gives an analogy about how dogs are able to smell through a plastic bag's pores in a similar manner that we see through them. Basically a dog can distinguish each smell individually so trying to "cover up" the scent with other scents is a rather futile effort. Your gonna want to make sure there is absolutely no drug residue on the outside of the container your using to transport and than just get past the dogs ASAP since its not a matter of "if" but more so of "when". Eventually the smell of the terpenes in the marijuana or the minute amounts of powder will permeate through the pores of the bag and will detectable by the dog.

No but I think its a damn good alibi personally..

Went to 2 festivals last year and 3 the year before and have never seen sniffer dogs at any of them. Still though I've brought weed to every single festival without getting caught once. In my opinion there are 2 ways to go about it...;-)

1) Obviously, you'll be bringing food so buy a pringles can! All the have to do is pop the top off, carefully peel the paper seal off (not completely off though, just enough to slide the pringles out.), remove half the pringles without breaking them and eat a few of them to make space. Drop your little baggies of joy into the tube on top of the rest of the pringles and then put the pringles which you removed back on top. Fold the seal down and then put the cap back on and hopefully the cap should hold the seal down so it looks un opened :mrgreen:

2) Imo this way is more safe. Not that the pringles idea is... (I mean why would security look through your pringles:finger:) but this idea has some odour defense ^-^ Everyone know that at festivals deodourant counts as washing ;-) So security will never stop you bringing it. Buy a roll on one and gently squeeze the top until the ball comes out. Try not to bend the plastic to much or there might be obvious crease marks. Empty out as much of the powder out as you want. I only ever emptied about half of it and then put the baggies in there and put the ball back in.

I've never been caught once and these are the only two methods i've ever used...

Tbh, a couple of times I literally haven't even bothered hiding it, I just leave it in the middle of my bag cos they'll never go all the way through it ^-^ I even took my bong last year...bongsmilie

Happy smoking :bigjoint:

I read half this thread..so pardon if I say anything that's been said..
After touring with the dead,phish,further,etc..,and going to hundreds of fests to actually sell drugs(supported my family for 5 years) I learned some tricks(believe me,riding in a van full of stinky spun hippies u need some)..rule number 1: DO NOT SMOKE POT IN THE FUCKING CAR!AT ALL!...2: have all your drugs,and your friends,in the same place.3: ride with honest people who will take responsibility for their share if u get caught,also know they are gonna stand their ground with you,not throw u under the bus when the heat is on..4: don't do drugs on the way in,its sux to talk to cops tripping..5:if possible,travel with a dog..cops don't like it 6: methods of concealment include..vaporsealing everything..hide in tire compartment,rolled up sleeping bag,up top in the turtle shell on the roof(if u got one),my personal favorite,in the bottom of a cooler with shittons of ice and food...use your safe imagination..seal a meals are the tits!..arrive with the masses and get hurded in easy and fast..u might have to relocate for a good camping spot,but who care!? If u wanna go high teck,sneak on the grounds before the fest,bury a tank of nitrous,I mean drugs,mark it with a gps,and dig it up later..or bring drugs that don't smell(lsd)and buy your smelly drugs at the show and let someone else sweat it out...hope all this helps you guys,have a great season fellas and ladies!!!
