Offered the choice of having the vehicle impounded for a week or turn around an fuck off home, the driver said he'd leave for the time being while we got legal bods on the case. The police responded by setting the traffic cops to work checking over the vehicle for defects and a lawful excuse to impound it. This was the second time that the traffic cops had checked this truck over in as many hours but exhaustive checks gave them nothing. This power represents 50% of the power for the media village, legal and nearby structures on camp. There has been no further news on progressing getting it into site.
Meanwhile, the mobile police station and associated vehicles have now withdraw from the entrance to the camp at some point during the afternoon so the camp now has full control of both vehicle access points into the field. However, the police say the road is now closed (although it's not closed if you are the local councilor phoning to find out why the road has been closed and it's not closed if you are a member of the golf club and don't want to be delayed). Basically, all campers with vehicles are being made to unload in the rain about 1/2 mile from the camp then ferry all the contents up to camp after being search (and researched each time they go back to fetch more stuff).
The climate caravan arrived and every person, bike and bag was search in the pouring rain before being allowed up to the site where they were meet by cheering campers.
