With regards to the police taking money off people, I expect the people complaining are drug dealers who have had there money taken by crooked cops. You can often tell when a wad of cash is from drugs but I can also see people having money taken by “mistake”
This guys story sounds fucked up. I don’t really understand who this could happen unless he had wandered into the wrong crowd. If stuff like this is actually happening at frenchtek I wouldn’t expect it to happen for many more years to come. Not sure how it works in france but with things like sexual assaults going on while under obsevation from the police they have got no chance of doing it agai.
Hearing this has kinda put me off going TBH. I know this one was allot bigger than normal but still I don’t fancy being mugged and raped 🙁
I got mugged by 5 French guys. I was infront of a rig not smashed, with it, before it happened and then the next thing I know I’m smashed up against a van held by my throat with my bag open and being demanded to suck their dick. I refused and they tried to drag me away which I also refrained from. Then one of them shows a piece of paper or wrap up to my face, laughing, which I hide away from as the first thing I thought was scopolamine. At this point there was a gap in the circle so I legged it. The mystery is in how this happened, I had my chain missing which i dont recall being taken and stuff from ‘intrinsic’ pockets that would’ve taken a while to get to and would’ve resulted from stuff being chucked out if it was done in a rush. Basically there was missing time.. Happened to a friend of a friend too the same night. I heard of other darkside shit also. Some guy got battered to death apparently for tying up a girl.”
This guys english is very hard to make out.

So jok what is the general gist of what people were saying then? Muggings or fights. Tell me PLEASE!!!
The only thing I didn’t like the look of was the police on site in the control tower.
ironically its probably too high up to look closely at what is going on in a large crowd, though useable for monitoring traffic movements / safety (similar to its original purpose).
Cops can take cash fines on the spot in mainland Europe but of course some are less meticulous about following correct procedures than others (same as anywhere else in the world). Its fairly common in Holland for someone caught with pills to be fined several hundred Euros but then let go at the end of the weekend (like a very expensive caution) rather than the full Court process.
it is near impossible to put 20 000 + people into anywhere and keep them 100% safe. The only folk who manage it seem to be the Dutch and even then they still have problems sometimes.
The story about the scopolamine I’d be reluctant to believe but you never know. It does seem pretty clear that there were defo some shady goings on with muggings and stuff but it seems you had to keep your wits about you and stick by a rig and in big groups so you don’t get set upon by some chancers
It sounds like the UK rigs and main french ones were fine but if you strayed off somewhere random it could’ve got a bit dark and nasty for you. If you think about it though, now that it’s so publicized and big, with no security really its gonna attract some real dodgy fuckers from all over Europe. Not something I’d really want on my mind when im trying to just get fucked and enjoy myself
This is just the bad stuff though which unfortunately is to be expected at something as big as this, a lot of people had a completely hassle free weekend of fun and good vibes
Après un pic à 30 000 festivaliers dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche, la fréquentation du Teknival a commencé à baisser au fil de la journée. En fin de matinée ce dimanche, les autorités publiques recensaient encore un peu plus de 28000 festivaliers, contre 24000 en début de soirée, soit 700 départs par heure enregistrés en moyenne.
Dans le cadre du dispositif de sécurité (près de 600 gendarmes et policiers mobilisés), placé sous l’autorité de Dominique Bur, préfet de Région, et de Denis Robin, préfet du Pas-de-Calais, 126 permis de conduire ont été jusque là retirés, dont 34 pour conduite sous l’emprise de l’alcool et 62 sous l’emprise de stupéfiants. Concernant justement les infractions aux stupéfiants, 29 personnes ont été interpellées au total, 23 pour détention et 6 pour trafic. A cette heure, 29 grammes d’héroïne ont été saisis ainsi que 45 grammes de cocaïne, deux doses de kétamine, 3 kilos de speed, 447 grammes de résine de cannabis et 115 grammes d’herbe. Les forces de l’ordre restent en outre présentes dans les villages environnants de la base aérienne, mais aucune intervention des gendarmes n’a eu lieu. Aucune plainte de riverain pour nuisance n’a été déposée. En outre, au niveau sanitaire, près de 338 personnes ont été prises en charge par les secouristes, dans une très large majorité pour des soins médicaux bénins. Vingt et une personnes ont toutefois été évacuées vers les centres hospitaliers de Cambrai (17), Lille (2), Douai (1) et Saint-Quentin (1) depuis le début du Teknival, mais aucun pronostic vital n’est engagé. Rappelons que le festival doit officiellement s’arrêter ce lundi à 14h. Les départs devraient donc s’accentuer dès la mi-journée et occasionner quelques difficultés de circulation. Une circulation restée jusque là fluide sur l’ensemble des itinéraires autour du site et sans aucun accident corporel à déplorer.

Translated from rot’s post
After peaking at 30 000 festival in the night from Saturday to Sunday, attendance Teknival began to fall throughout the day. By late morning on Sunday, the authorities still were documenting a little more than 28,000 festival-goers, against 24,000 in the early evening, 700 departures per hour recorded on average.
As part of the safety device (about 600 gendarmes and police mobilized), under the authority of Dominique Bur, prefect of the region, and Denis Robin, prefect of Pas-de-Calais, 126 driving licenses have been previously then withdrawn, including 34 for driving under the influence of alcohol and 62 under the influence of drugs. Precisely on the narcotics offenses, 29 people were arrested in total, 23 for possession and 6 traffic. At this time, 29 grams of heroin were seized and 45 grams of cocaine, two doses of ketamine, 3 kilos of speed, 447 grams of cannabis resin and 115 grams of grass. The police are also present in the surrounding villages of the air base, but no police intervention took place. No complaints waterfront nuisance has been filed. In addition, the health level, nearly 338 people were supported by rescuers in a large majority for mild medical care. Twenty-one people, however, were evacuated to hospitals in Cambrai (17) Lille (2) Douai (1) and Saint-Quentin (1) since the beginning of Teknival, but no prognosis is engaged. Recall that the festival has officially stop Monday at 14h. Departures should therefore grow from mid-day and cause some traffic problems. Circulation remained hitherto fluid on all routes around the site and no body to mourn accident.
the last bit should translate that traffic remained moving steadily on all routes around the site and there was no one injured in road traffic collisions.

Nah I just read that in a news article. I would’ve loved to go but It would have been quite a bit of hassle for me to get there seeing as I don’t know anyone who drives haha. I’m gonna wait till I’m a bit older and more clued up to go to something like that as it seems like you definitely need your wits about you there!

yeah its a lot of hassle and money for a party I always felt. Be good if you combined it with a hoilday or something like that perhaps. Or if you had a really big group of you going.
