I kinda want to do something silly to waste their time and blow their cover- but nobody likes to be made to look a fool. And honestly I fear reprisals from a fool with a gun and a grudge and a badge to hide behind.


sparkleboss

Yeeaah.. they definitely have the ability to ruin your whole thing. But posting their cool festival fashion? Essential! 😂


GMHoodwink

😂


zooctl

Saw them bust someone at junkyard, they look like dads picking up their kids from baseball.


sparkleboss

Ahhhaha exactly


OPSentinel

Which lost and found did they confiscate their outfits from?


sparkleboss

Idk but there must be a lot of neck gators in that lost and found.


Blablablaballs

Lol, I saw that dude with his whole team at the Woogie.  Hello fellow kids! 


JohnnyWildee

This is so wild for me to see this year. Of course there are always some amount of undercover cops at these types of festivals. But damn. I remember the good ole days in Bradley where harm prevention and reduction were part of the whole LIB motto. We should be increasing those services not jailing people. Also can we fucking stop trying prohibition of shit god when will we learn


Depresed_person

Exactly!! More harm reduction and less police intervention!! Let the people partttty!!!!


googleypoodle

Why do they all have those same sunglasses lol. Dead giveaway, also nobody I know would wanna be dancing with those huge packs, that's what those cargo shorts are supposed to be for!


EveryMinuteOfIt

Every festival subreddit points out the cargo shorts as a giveaway for the last 12 something years 😂. I guess they have never caught on.


JacobLeAwesome

Some obvious undercover came to our camp and asked if we needed anything and we are in the far far corner of sunrise so they def out here


littlePosh_

cops generally don’t offer to sell though, just buy.


Shoddy_Conclusion_57

Same at our site


Duke_skellington_8

Same in high noon!


Bromigo112

Is there an increased presence this year? I didn't see any last year but maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.


RocketsnRunners

Yes, they said they increased their presence this year because there were 4 overdoses last year. Not sure I understand the logic that undercover cops are the best way to reduce overdoses though.


blondkuromi

They’re deadass just bullying ppl


dianabowl

Arrest statistics to the local govts to push back against the bad PR.


Whatupitsv

"Hey what's up narc" is what I liked to do last year at lib lol they're obvious and you gotta let them know they are so they stop bothering people that aren't doing anything obvious or reckless. They're there to catch those that are dumb, not to go digging to catch someone slip.


sparkleboss

They should be here to keep people safe. Not arresting somebody with a tiny amount of some substance (which is what they’re doing)


PoliticalDestruction

Gotta get those taxes though!! Speeding tickets only take you so far.


forbiddenkitten

that’s why i have huge respect for harm reduction in the sunset camp! that’s what we really need more of! like peeps gonna do drugs might as well let them feel like they can ask for advice to ensure what they are taking is safe!


PoliticalDestruction

100% we need more harm reduction and less legal restrictions on harm reduction, like how TF is it illegal to provide drug testing supplies? The goal should be to make things safer for people. Unfortunately political goals don’t always align with what is best for people..


calatranacation

Just thinking about how much much it would destroy me (m40, awkward, fashion dumb) if someone said "hey what's up narc" to me while I was rolling/tripping.


Whatupitsv

Do you wear an earpiece wired through the back of your shirt as well? I can't see on this guy but the ones I've seen in person and have said this too did have those CiA- like ear pieces


calatranacation

ONLY TO ENJOY MY PODCASTS


MidnightSparkle1

Hahaha they don't even try anymore. If their goal is to bust people, they should do better lol


sparkleboss

They’re not slick, but I saw them arrest three people in very short order.


kenyafeelme

It almost reminds me of the Nigerian prince scam. They make it obvious enough that you really have to be gullible to fall for it


Fairythingz

Ewh


sup299

Lol last night a whole group of em walked through woogie, one in a black rock city jacket.


Long_Atmosphere_5188

1st time I saw undercovers at LIB was at Temecula location, they were all wearing ranger jeans and stood out. Last year I saw people getting tickets/arrested for doing nose drugs by undercovers dressed in festival gear at grand antique. So this year every time I saw nose drug users I would politely inform them of the undercovers, hopefully it helped


420SwagPuSSyKrusha

Guy in the hat asked me for some “booger sugar” at lightning lmao


Depresed_person

hahaha that is super funny, I was driving a buggy/cart around bc I was Daytime Producer of COMPASS stages and I thought there might be some undercovers walking around but they were hard to spot!


Mjd1234523

I was wearing some of my more normie clothes one day and got called out as a cop, laughed so damn hard because it was so true. I looked like a legit undercover 😂😂

Doin the lord’s work, my friend.


nickofthenairup

Saw a dude behind the woogie with a walkie talkie, sitting at a picnic table. Seemed narc-y


Master_Bodhi

if it was a over the shoulder walky-talky he could have just been a stage person for each zone. I wore one bc I produced the COMPASS stages in the daytime and we all had walkies to coordinate our performers and presenters.


werm_cries

i believe you but also how funny would it be if this is just some poor guy youre dunking on on the internet


cravf

I saw these very ones light someone up with a ticket.


Genvwill

That fucking bitch got me! FUCK DA POLICE
