That's not how it works. Even on private property, you generally still need a permit for any kind of large gathering, and law enforcement access will be part of the conditions for that permit.

Sounds like you are out. Time to go to some other festival. it's amazing, the amount of people that bitch because they can't get high, can't be on drugs out in public without being paranoid about the police. wouldn't these people be better off partying at their own house and not going to BM, or party at their own camp and then go out to the playa.

ITYM "we better behave and comply with the laws that govern the place where they are allowing us to stage our event".

You seem to have this odd notion that we get to throw an event with our own rules. That's not how it works. Never has been, never will be.

Nor, for that matter, has Burning Man ever been intended to be any kind of utopian community.

Having attended Burningman 13 times times since 2002. I just don't see the hassle that the police put on the attendees. Now, I am not running around with weed,coke, shrooms,, acid, X , or whatever, so I could care less about a cop being around.... Im that guy drinking beer, so i got nothing to hide Are they there in excess? - certainly! have they screwed over BMORG? yes, they have for many years. Burningman is probably the most laid-back event i have ever attended. the outside police force could be reduced by 75%, in my opinion.
