WATCH FESTIVAL-GOERS GET THEIR DRUGS TESTED
LAUREN · SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2014
The Bunk Police are a roving drug-testing organisation run by Adam Auctor (not his real name.) They travel to festivals throughout America, offering punters free drug tests to check the purity of their good-time meds.
Sounds like a pretty fine festival addition to me.
But (obviously) here's the catch: although the kits are completely legal, The Bunk Police are forced to smuggle them into festivals. Promoters are against the idea because the appearance of a drug-testing kit implies that illegal substances are indeed being brought into the festival.
The denial rule is due to the aptly named Reducing American's Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act (RAVE), which pretty much states that music promoters are liable for any illegal substances.
