A young lawyer's career is in ruins after she was found guilty of taking ecstasy into T in the Park in her underwear.

A court was told Justine Siebenaler would no longer be able to pursue a career in law after being convicted of having Class A drugs. Siebenaler, 26, wept in the dock yesterday as a security officer described how she pulled two bags of drugs out of her underwear during a search. Tina Spence, 34, was carrying out searches on people entering the music festival when Siebenaler and her friend raised suspicions by behaving oddly.

Ms Spence said: "They were acting very suspiciously. They wouldn't look us in the eyes. I told her I had suspicions and that what I was going to do was get the police. "I said to her the best thing to do was to tell me what she had. She pulled bags from her trousers, from her underwear, and showed me what she had in the bags. There were five pink tablets and a substance that looked like herbal cannabis. She was starting to get upset and was crying.

"I told her we had had a briefing before T in the Park with G4S Security and we were told these pink pills were killing people before T in the Park, so if anyone was found with them we had to inform the police."

I'm glad they recognised the difference between MDMA and PMA. Although its not fair her career is fucked because of it, it was only a few pills, probably only for herself.
 
Can you just walk out if you think they're going to search you? I can't see they have any right to stop you.
 
stupid bitch gave up too easily. why didn't she stuff it into cock-socket?
 
I'm not familiar with the general search/seizure policy outside the US. I've never been questioned going into a festival here regardless of what I may have been on or had on me.

Is frstival protocall pretty strict over there?
 
Should have stuck it behind her meat curtains.

Or, she should have told the bouncer(?) to fuck off and get lost.

Quite a stupid decision to stay and then to also show what you're hiding.

On a somewhat-related note...

I remember going to a rave once with a few friends, one of which decided to hide his pills inside his cigarette pack (the first place which was checked).

So here we are thinking the cops are gonna be getting involved shortly; instead, this bouncer takes the two or three pills from buddy's cig pack, shoves em in his pocket and let's him go in. Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. The others including myself were laughing our asses off. Poor guy ended up staying there with us from 11pm-7am without any pills. But it turned out okay, I had a few extras and felt sorry for him.

I don't see why her career should be in ruins. She simply made that claim to reduce the sentence. It seems to have had everyone else convinced which, for a lawyer, is a plus-point I reckon. I think she would make an excellent lawyer :)

i once got busted in a club selling someone a bomb but was toooo fucked and didn't realised was being watched, girl handed me the money then suddenly ran off, bouncer right there and goes "give me whatever you have or get kicked out" which was just a couple mdma bombs and some 2c-b, stayed in, no police, kept the money too. happy as fuck!
 
Ms Spence sounds like a fucking bitch - I hope she's happy with ruining someone's life.
