Legal Challenges to University Police Stops, Arrests & Searches

Fighting Pennsylvania College campus police abuses 

There was at time when Pennsylvania college students and their parents were comforted by the fact that the Pennsylvania colleges and universities that they had paid tens of thousands of dollars for education and nurturing would also protect their children from youthful indiscretions. Many have memories of intoxication, mishaps and experimentation while in college, along with the occasional escorting by college security back to the dorm room.

But times have changed for Pennsylvania College Students. College Security aimed at protecting its students have become University Police directed to prosecute its patrons. Over the past ten years, more and more colleges and university police have gained appropriations to police their own students.

Who are these university police? Noble, disciplined men and women sworn to protect the Constitution and the students who patron its halls? Or police academy rejects, rent-a-cops, or part-time big box security officers who are motivated by getting as many convictions as possible to protect their job or further their career?
