Comment on Statement on Police Activity on the Road to Black Rock City

Comments

The error here is assuming that BIA cares at all about Burning Man, which it likely does not. Burning Man is simply a high-traffic road where traffic stops cannot be avoided, permitting them to search every vehicle without contest.

This reeks of a deal where BIA offered a bribe in exchange for permission to perform traffic stops and searches from the local police, and they’re confident they can execute a full set of searches on a captive audience before a judge lays out an order requiring the bribe (and accompanying contract) to be divulged.
