I had one but I was producing the show. I helped one guy out that was being searched though. They were searching his bag in front of the main stage area, I pulled out my cam and pointed at them. One cop waved, "no camera" and I said "i'm not putting it away". Guess what happened? The guy was let go in less than 30 seconds....The message we will get out next year is don't consent but bring a camera and document any illegal searches you see!

We will see I suppose.
