The 2008 April Fools Day Police raid of the Museum is captured on video by one of the fifty odd police that also closed the Embassy and HEMP BAR for the day.
Over three hours of video evidence was gathered yet very little Cannabis and nothing serious.
The police also weigh cookies to help with the figures and help justify the enormous expense and drain on resources.
Marijuana Prohibition and trying to enforce the law has become a political nightmare after many decades of police failure and governmental ignorance.
After months of planning and organizing the raids the Museum was back to normal in a couple of days and provided the many international and local tourists with good atmosphere and a chance to see some of the colourful history of the small village.
A few of the police seemed to enjoy themselves as they move about the Museum along the 'Rainbow Serpent' path past all the peculiar installations and unconsciously absorb the sub-liminal icons and art forms.
Some police seem to stand motionless as if they are part of the regular display.
The blue uniforms have been colour adjusted to help them blend with scenery. No Hippies were harmed in the shooting of this reality drama.
The dog had a bit of trouble with ganja crumbs and spilt bong water.
Thanks to the Musicians who provide relief from the serious nature of this documentary.
Look for more in this, Fools Day series of police tours of the Museum among the video collection online.
