I know that this is an old story but still it pisses me off. Police were there for one purpose only and it was not to fight crime. Traffic stops my ass.

ZEPHYRHILLS - Before the first band even took the stage Saturday at Livestock 13, Pasco County sheriff's deputies had arrested 22 people on a variety of drug charges and warrants.
According to reports, many of the arrests stemmed from routine traffic stops or from festivalgoers using drugs in open view of the army of off-duty deputies working security at the annual rock 'n' roll show at Festival Park, just south of the Zephyrhills city limits.
The arrests began Friday morning as the crowd, many of whom camped out overnight Thursday to jockey for a spot inside, funneled into the park off U.S. 301.
According to Sheriff's Office reports, those arrested by Saturday morning are:
Justine Liss Carufel, 31, of Regatta Circle, Spring Hill. She was in a truck stopped outside the park at 8 p.m. Friday with an expired license tag and deputies found marijuana inside. She was charged with possession of the drug and jailed in lieu of $500 bail.
Anthony Ryan Davis, 25, of Deltona was observed smoking marijuana at the park about 11:30 p.m. Friday and arrested on charges of possession of the drug and drug paraphernalia. Bail was set at $500.
Patrick Spenser Duncan, 22, of Largo was arrested about 3:40 p.m. Friday on charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia after a deputy reported finding the drug under him during a traffic stop near the park. Bail was set at $500.
Larry William Fast, 21, of Crystal River, was arrested on a warrant at the park about 2:45 p.m. Friday. The warrant was for a probation violation and bail was set at $2,005.

Walter Brian Hertrich, 21, of Palm Harbor was arrested about 7:20 p.m. Friday and charged with disorderly conduct. A deputy reported seeing him staring straight up into the falling rain. When the deputy talked to him, reports state Hertrich threatened to hurt the deputy, then put his hands on the deputy's shoulders. Bail was set at $500.
Andrew Clifford Johnson Jr., 24, of Tampa, was arrested outside the park about 4:40 p.m. Friday and charged with possession of marijuana, paraphernalia and illegal mushrooms. Deputies searching his car using a drug detecting dog reported finding the drugs in a car he was riding in. Bail was set at $10,250.
