Okies lets see here, i did a search and didn't turn this one up, so please forgive
if this has already been posted.
This to me is the perfect example of what is currently wrong with our police
forces, in this video we clearly see a very rude young man in a confrontation
with officers, a little background reading led me to find out that these officers
work for both the school and the police department.
We clearly hear and see the student deny an officers request to search his
room, he has every right to do this as dorms are protected under the 4th
amendment as well, after a good long bit of disagreement and the officer
barging in past the threshold of his dorm room and then backing out,
which to me means he well knew he was breaking the rules and thought
better of it but you can hear he is angry.
After a good bit of back and forth his supervisor shows up, now things get really
scary when you actually listen to what is said to that kid, he is flat out threatened
that if he does not comply with a search he will be kicked out of school as the
police are considered school administrators as well, obviously this should raise
huge alarm bells, this child was being argumentative, it made the officers angry
and they decided they would trounce his rights because of this.
Near the end we see that even though the officer is never given consent he gets
so angry that he barges into the room anyway, and conducts a small search
and finds nothing at all, the only thing i can honestly take from all this is that if
you uphold your rights and it makes them angry, they will simply throw your
rights out the window, which is what ive feared is actually the root cause of our
police corruption.
Officers are apparently so ingrained with the idea of submission and the power
that it provides them they cannot handle you winning even if it entails hem
violating your rights.
Thankfully in this case the officer in question was of course fired, you cannot very
well attempt to use your authority as an officer/school administrator to force
someone to give up their rights, but this guy sure thought he would get away
with it, and honestly if there had not been a camera i really doubt this would have
ended in that way.
