Wait till MarkBoston weighs in on this one! Seriously, here we go again. BPPA will probably fight this. In addition, watch carefully what you do under those sheriff "powers". don't want to go making more case law do we (hee hee) Maybe the United Federation of Planets prime directive would be best applied here "Non-Interference." |

I asked a cpo at my college if they had chapter 90 when I was getting my parking sticker.
Her response was "yes on campus,accept for me I went to blah blah academy so I can get in pursuits and arrest people if they go off campus and pull over people off campus". |

I dont understand what having Ch 90 powers has to do with the proposed idea of having campus police respond to incidents involving students off campus? If a student violates a college rule "such as underage drinking" and the school is willing to allow the officer to respond in order to take discipline action Ch 90 has NOTHING to do with this.

The point I think we are missing is that the universities and colleges are not going to accept the additional LIABILITY that would be incurred by responding to calls 'off-campus' to dwellings not owned or controlled by the college.
Further, the idea of supplying the names and addresses of rudents living off-campus to the city (any city/town) is ludicrous. It makes them second class citizens. The last time I checked, this was a free country, one can live where ever one wants. I'd go so far as to NOT give the school any address but my parents and a post office box where they could contact me. They wouldn't even have my telephone number. Some would suggest that the school could coerce students into providing this information. Unless something has changed, I don't believe there is a law requiring anyone to have a telephone. Unless the school wants to pay the student a living wage for attending, they can get stuffed. The student pays the school for goods and services vended by the school. The school is a VENDOR! Not an employer of students. Now, as far as the schools applying their 'code of conduct' off campus: this could just as easily be applied if a student got a C90 cite (civil). Basically, what happens off-campus is none of the schools business. The off-campus student is just another citizen. When he screws-up off campus, he will be treated as such. Nothing more, nothing less. If he screws-up on campus, then the school can apply their code of conduct. Lastly, getting back to the liability issue: if the campus police are responding to a call off-campus, to a property not owned or controlled by the school and crashes or strikes a pedestrian...who do you think will be held responsible. The college. And the city if they are foolish enough to pass the ordinance requiring such a response by the CP. Chapter 90? Forget it...too much of a liability issue for the school. If a city requires that the CP respond to calls outside their jurisdiction, will they also be obligated to provide training, i.e., academy services to the colleges within their city? As you can see, this is a can of worms. A note to you campus cops: I don't think anyone (well, almost) has a problem with you having jurisdiction on property owned or controlled by the school, and the ways contiguous to those properties. This is not to say C90 power, but the power that allows you to arrest an idiot out on the sidewalk (like the ubiquitous bicycle thieves). Also, I was a campus cop for eleven years, so I have a pretty good idea of the issues confronting you (they really haven't changed). |
