Among other remarkable things about OP is that I remember a few months ago he wrote something about graduating high school and how he was going to dry up and focus on boxing or something. This on the heels of moving into a dorm and away from authority figures. Uh-huh. You can see how well that turned out.

If you're going to smoke pot in a dorm room, stuff a towel or something under the door open a window, and if you have a fan, set it so it blows air out the window. Better yet, take a walk somewhere with not too many people around and smoke while walking. Good job not consenting to a search. If they'd found pot in your room, you would have been screwed.

campus cops <or= mall cops

[/ QUOTE ]

Not quite true, as campus cops do have the authority to arrest you or issue a summons, where as mall cops are usually just private security guards, and thus have no authority to do anything other than ask you to leave or call the real cops. However, both are usually wannabes who aren't qualified to get a job as a real cop.

Re: Another run-in with the cops.
 

Back in the day of the great NIH riots at UCLA (circa 1974) it was common knowledge that if you had to be arrested, you were much better off getting nabbed by LAPD rather that the campus police, who would beat the living [censored] out of you. I think that's changed....

Also, on a lighter note, at one time there were only two police "departments" that issued their officer .454 sidearms - one was somewhere like Laredo Texas, and the other was the campus police at Univerity of Nevada, Reno.

the problem is it obviously differs from school to school. if you go to school in bumblef*** iowa, maybe the campus police don't really do much. near big cities most of the university police are real police. why wouldn't they be? like i said they have guns and arrest power. how are they not "real police"?

The Citizens Auxillary Police Department -- now that's a department with real police powers.

Re: Another run-in with the cops.
 

Here's an example of what you have to say to a police officer in Ontario.

cop: "Where you coming from?"

me: "No comment."

him: buncha stuff

me: "No comment"

Him: what's your name/address

me: answers

Him: Do you have ID?

me: "No comment"

Him: Do you want to be arrested?

Me: "No comment"

Him: leave the area immediately

me: "Have a good night."

Now, if there's an emergency that I can see, I talk to them like a normal person, but otherwise, our conversation is pretty much as described above, every time I run into a police officer that wants to talk to me.

Re: Another run-in with the cops.
 

A lot of campus police at larger universities are sworn police officers. they just have a smaller juris diction (the campus and immediate area). If they have a sidearm, then they are a sworn police officer, not "mall cops". The campus police at University of Maryland are often used off-campus if necessary due to the heavy workload from a high-crime area. Compared to other "real" police departments they may seem not as well-trained/ less professional, but they're still real police officers.

In 1999, 704,812 people in the United States were arrested for marijuana "crimes." * This was an increase of over 85% from the 380,399 arrested in 1993 **, Bill Clinton's first year in office.

Do you understand what the colloquial expression "getting the ball rolling" is usually meant to indicate?

Re: Another run-in with the cops.
 

While you may certainly have a valid point, that graph is cumulative arrests and is thus a little misleading. From the graph at least it doesn't look like arrests increased very much year-to-year.

Well the graph begins when Clinton came into office, the year before was the previous record high with about 390,000 arrests. But yea, I agree that cumulative can be misleading, I just googled and found a chart to put in. I just felt the "100% wrong" comment was a bit over the top. I've taken classes like Drugs and Crime and the general consensus is that Clinton= war on marijuana

Re: Another run-in with the cops.
 

I'd say Reagan was much more responsible for the war on MJ, what with his whole "war on drugs" platform and mandatory minimum sentencing. While I certainly believe Clinton did nothing to alleviate the problem of non-violent drug offenders being incarcerated, I'd certainly like to hear your theories on how he started the war on marijuana.

meh, I just said in my previous post my phrasing wasn't very technically accurate. Also, in the same class they claimed that among the different "drug wars" Reagan's was waged against Crack. What am I saying? Don't know! But

your chart is completely deceptive, inaccurate and worthless if youre trying to make a statement about the years clinton was in office. each year's arrest adds the prior year to it so at first glance it looks like there's dramatic increase from the prior year in arrests when that is not the case.

the 1999 column should be labeled 1993-1999 arrests and clearly show it represents 7 years and not one.

w/out knowing what the arrest numbers were from years outside of 1993-1999, one can not make statements about those years.
