Why search before a festival?
Pre-festival searches, like the one at Creamfields, are a common tactic used by police to prevent illegal activities and ensure public safety. By searching the site before attendees arrive, officers aim to find and remove contraband, such as the drugs and nitrous oxide canisters discovered, thereby reducing the likelihood of drug-related incidents during the event.
