I'll admit it's been a few years since I last went to Pan Pagan, which has been held in Indiana for some time now. But there was always a cop showing up, or the Troopers, to check us out. Idiots didn't take into account they were walking into a campground filled with pagans and amongst those pagans you can be guaranteed there's at least two or three empaths and telepaths. So by the time they got all the way through the gates..clothes were on in the clothing optional area, the flaming gays were nowhere to be seen, children would be found at one campsite sitting listening to an Elder telling them stories etc. AND we'd greet the law with smiling faces...quite willing to show them around.
One year I was working the registration sign in tent, spotted a car slowly coming in and quietly said "Law is here." Amazing how fast the word can get spread. They knew I knew.
That was also the year I learned just how little rights we had in that state. They had some asshole on the inside....we had him pegged from day one though...especially after he started spouting off his pontifical law attitude about things. And how we were all going to be arrested for deviancy. I firmly told him if anyone in my group was harmed, I'd hold him personally responsible and there'd be no place on this planet he could hide. Council threw him out the second day. Was the last time I went to Pan Pagan too.
