Surely anyone who goes regularly is aware of the procedure and hides their drugs somewhere else...

Seems pretty pointless to me.

I would have thought that was the only upside to the trip
What type of music do you listen to? Please let me know so that I can call it ste as well. Thanks.

Definitely. It sounds to me like a sales technique, a free hand job but only if you enter the club after.

I assume they go through the motions to keep the authorities happy, not to actually stop people taking drugs in.

Unless they are going to cavity search all the punters they are never going to stop people taking drugs inside and if they did manage to make the venue drugs free they would be bust within a week.

I dont have a problem with the search carried out as im not a drug taker and had nothing to hide entering the club, was just curious of the laws surrounding a search inside of the boxers! Nobody was informed that this search was going to take place and alot of people did get caught as a result... surely they would just bring the police in with a sniffer like most other large events i've been to in London

Was just wondering PHs opinions on this? Is it Illegal?
Always get yo' bhe's to carry yo shizzle.

Or just dont go to 'All night drum and bass/dubstep events'.

What is dubstep - were there loads of crap old VW's with stretched tyres and ruined suspension parked outside?

Not allowed to search actually in the boxers full stop due to accusastions that could be made....can feel around the crotch area on the outside but must use make sure its the back of the hand that comes into contact so no claim can be made that you grabbed them....also they need to ask your permission to be search and the person searching "should" have a witness present

Never used to get that kind of 'treatment' when I frequented MOS back in the day. That was however on Wednesdays for the Vodka Nationwide student night. Good fun.

I wonder if they were looking for guns and knives rather than drugs.

There are hundred of places on a body to hide a few pills if you want to*.
But hiding a gun or knife is a bit harder.


You didn’t mention if they asked you to take your shoes off.
You said they didn’t check ladies purses.
I knew people who would stash pills inside a fake mobile phone or inside fake cigarettes.

Almost certainly was a guns and knives search as well as a see what drugs it turns up on the inexperienced.

I haven’t been out to a proper club (if you can call MoS that!) for many years but even when I did some of the searches I received raised my eyebrows but as said if you don’t like it you do have the option of not going in. Likewise if you really must supplement your water intake then there are many other little places things can be left that will not be searched, not all of them being on your person.

I would suggest that the search you had was perhaps a little too hands on for the training books but also doubt that unless you were told to bend over as he put a glove on you would be on a hiding to nothing if you tried to report it.

Ultimately if you run with the bad boys expect to be treated like a bad boy. At a night like that I suspect you were one of about 4 attendees who were not chemically enhanced, possibly including staff.

Is that a reference to a female sex organ? wink

I had to pay a professional visit to one of these clubs some years ago when somebody set the fire alarm off.

For safety reasons it was wired to the decks and automatically cut the music so people could hear the fire alarm.

Unfortunately the fire alarm was a painfully loud warbling noise and nobody took the slightest bit of notice.

Hundreds of people had their hands in the air dancing to a fire alarm.

We looked at each other and fell about laughing.
