Breakin' The Law'I'd taken some mushrooms in a pub,' writes Allen Smithee, 'and things had got a bit odd. People turning into goblins, barstools into toadstools etc. I wandered off from my friends and found myself in a carpark. I noticed a huge liquorice allsort driving towards me and Bertie Basset got out. I kinda realised that Bertie was a policeman and my brain went into paranoid fast forward. I decided that I must be being arrested and said, "I'll just get in the back of your car, Officer" Bertie looked at me with disgust, "Not bleeding likely sunshine. Just piss off home ok?"'

We were camping illegally on private property (not ours, or course)as we had done several times before. This time, we also had a campfire during a fire ban. As we sat by the fire, we saw red flashlights coming down the hill. We called to whoever was there, inviting them to the fire and asking who they were. They said hello but didn't say anything else. Then they appeared in the firelight and we said "Oh, hello officers."
They had us put out the fire, and we scattered to pack up our stuff. Brandon grabbed a box of baby wipes off the ground from beside the fire, and tucked it under him arm. The cop asked him what was in it, and was disappointed to find it really was baby wipes.
The funny part about it was that these cops tripped over an "art project" we had made. Being crazy teenage Goth kids and me being a hairdressing student, I had a mannequin head with piercings, tattoos, a mohawk, a dog collar, and we'd built it a house out of sticks. We'd hung rubber gloves and pop cans off the "doll house". I'm sure it was rather a disturbing sight to find a disembodied head in the dark in the forest in the middle of the night!
They ended up telling us we could stay the night if we went to bed and got out first thing in the morning. Woohoo!
