Lawyers For Burners is a grassroots project that was recently formed to help Burning Man participants with Bureau of Land Management (BLM) citations they received during the event. They are currently looking for more lawyers to help with this project as well as donations to cover expenses and legal fees.
Got Ticket?
If you or anyone you know got a BLM citation this year then pay attention to your court date. If you haven’t gotten a “Notice To Appear” yet, you’ll probably be getting one soon. But, don’t just pay the fine. Find out what Lawyers for Burners has to say about whether you should fight the charges or not. Also, if you are a licensed attorney who wants to participate in this exciting project, send an email to lawyers@lawyersforburners.com. Stand up for your civil rights and help make Black Rock City safe from illegal searches and police harassment! If you’re not a lawyer and you’d still like to help, then please consider making a financial contribution to the cause. All proceeds will be used for court costs, travel expenses and out-of-state legal fees.

That’s the funniest fucking picture since the opening titles of Starsky and Hutch. Love it!
I met a girl this year at burning man who was slipped rufi, raped and beaten up the day before the burn. I think we’ve got some bigger problems than BLM citations.
Hi, I’m a douche that broke the law in the dessert.
Hi, I’m a douche that went to BM too, and I’ll be representing you. What was your camp, bro?!
“Lawyers for Burners: Proving that Rich Kids are Above the Law since 2007.”
There are some haters out there that will call you names and make assumptions. The facts as I understand them are – it was the government that broke the law. And if they are not kept in check they will be in your back yard sniffing around. Most of the clients are broke and all are very nice people that decided to stand up for what is right instead of simply paying the fine. I looked this elderly woman in the eyes that had been wrongfully accused and saw terror, sadness and depression in her eyes. Then I see a comment that basically called her a rich kid douche. That is the definition on ignorance. Support this, because it is right not because it is the biggest problem we have ever had, but because people have died for our civil right and these guys violated our 4th amendment rights because they have been empowered by the patriot act and feel above the law. BLM above the law since homeland security.
