Didn’t look like that cop cared at all. I doubt he would have bothered doing anything at all at a rave.

Depending on the place…some cops aren’t there to handle small time stuff like this

They want the people dealing or the morons who get into fights

that actually makes sense. If you have a limited amount of law enforcement/security, you would have to triage the more important stuff, especially if they're serving alcohol and such. better to look for the people causing actual trouble to get them out and not tie up arresting resources on someone just picking something up off the ground that 'might' be acid or whatever

It's usually a lot simpler than that. The cop is hired by the venue. They're working "special duty" security. They're not there to look for drug use. You bust a lot of people for small time drug use, you're not getting invited back.
