Activist Post -As The Free Thought Project reported earlier this week, police from various agencies were more aggressive than ever with searches of Burning Man attendees who were on their way to the festival this year.
Police in the region told reporters that they have orders from the federal government to target cars that are on their way to Burning Man and search them for drugs.
Organizers of the festival have responded to these reports with a letter to federal officials threatening a lawsuit if the traffic stops continue.
Adam Belsky, special counsel to the Burning Man organization, was the organizer who signed the letter.
“Many of the (traffic stop) tactics are attempts to intimidate and harass travelers who are doing nothing more than passing through the Reservation on a state-maintained highway. This is unacceptable and this behavior should not be tolerated by agency leaders nor the public,” Belsky wrote.
