Dude, I went to a rave a few years ago. Only rave I ever went to. It was a huge 3 day festival. We brought some beer along with us. My friends were both 19 (which is legal here). So I pull up at the security check and they search the van. We obviously didn't hide the beer; my friends were 19 and the other, more psychedelic goodies were well hidden. So yeah, before the bitch started searching the van she saw all of our IDs, I was 18, and supposedly because I was the one driving the car they were able to confiscate our beer. She was being a total control freak of an arrogant bitch about it too.
My friend (who bought the beer) was so pissed, she just grabbed it and started running away with it and he went after her, but in the end he was powerless. Because I was driving, they were grabbing it.
My other friend forgot to take out used nickel bags from her purse (which previously held cocaine) and she found them and started badgering her about where the supposed cocaine we were hiding was. And to just give it up and tell her.
Later we saw the security manager guy call them all over to talk to the security guards. By the look of the situation it seemed like he was telling them to only look in the main spots for large quantities, don't go after the people for their little personal stuff or steal their fucking beer. But it was too late for our situation.
I've never seen a more bitchy security guard or authority figure. She was on such a power trip. I will never forget her. Ultimate bitch. Nemesis.
And yeah, It certainly makes you feel like you just got jacked. Stealing in a nutshell.
