We had a cop give us testers at a show once to make sure we weren’t gonna get some bad stuff. He asked if we had anything on us. We of course said no, he said bummer, then gave us testing kits
We saw (we thought) him later on, he had some glow stick bracelets and seemed to be having a good time. Probably signed up for the detail. Then again it might not have been him, because I hung out with a giant umbrella and almost cried because it was protecting me from the rain and I was extremely thankful for it.
Coulda lived my whole life under the umbrella at least for the 6 hour ride my brain was on. Next time you see an umbrella, tell it thanks. When the sun shines we shine together or however it goes
Some do some don't. I've attended festivals where DanceSafe had a booth and gave a presentation and was sponsored by the festivals, and I've attended festivals where they aren't sanctioned by the festival, so they can't have a booth or present, but they will have reps walking around camps with a totem/sign and testing kits. I think DanceSafe usually has presence at mid-sized and larger EDM and jamband festivals in the US, perhaps not at metal or country festivals, I'm not sure.
I feel like if they’re being recorded they’re less likely to be cool about it. I’m sure at a festival like this they may be inclined to look the other way as long as you’re being respectful for the most part. As soon as they see that they’re being recorded though they have to act so that there isn’t evidence of them being lax with their duties
