First off nobody here bare witness to the event so none of us are experts. Second I saw at no time or read at no time did any UCLA PD officer inform the student that he was "under arrest" Obstructing a peace officer in their duties is totally different than resisting arrest. When an officer is asked for his name and ID number they must comply as long as the situation is stable. If an officer refuses to give the requested information to the person requesting it the person should immediately request a patrol sergeant or watch commander to the scene (which will piss the officer off royally and piss his supe off even more for having to ditch his coffee and desk job playing solitare). Was the student in the right? Yes and no. If he was complying by leaving the library building I fail to understand the issue. If the student forgot his UCLA ID card that's a simple mistake that ANY one of us could do on any given day with our drivers licenses or any other ID card. I think that tasering someone repeatedly is bullshit unless the person is becoming violent and making threatening gestures towards an officer/s. In most likelyhood the officers were racially profiling the student due to his ethnicity. And for the record I'm caucasian and a former Sac County Sheriff Recruit and this type of incident makes me want to puke. Fucking campus cops have nothing better to do with their time since they couldn't get hired with real city agencies. [/qb][/QUOTE]Campus Cops are CHP officers. [/qb][/QUOTE]Unless UCLA has a contract with CHP to provide law enforcement that's a crock of shit. CSU and UC police departments are totally separate from the California Highway Patrol. CHP provides security for the Governor & state government officials, State Capitol, state government buildings aside from traffic safety and investigations. If you care to debate this please do so. Our information comes from 4 family members whom are CHP officers. The bottom line is the library attendant called for campus police assistance and when the officers showed up they should have immediately asked the student in question to leave. They would not have placed him under arrest for being in the library without proper ID. If the student refused to leave when asked by an officer then at that point he could have been placed under arrest and detained. Honestly though you do the math Dana. 3 fully grown men with firearms, OC spray, hand cuffs, batons and tasers couldn't physically escort a young adult male out of the library? They must not be THAT well trained to not be able to do something as simple as escorting someone away from a library. Granted also the kid was probably your typical pussy looking for an excuse to exploit the Patriot Act and racial profiling but if you all look at the grander scheme of things it boils down to one thing............................ The person in question IS actually a student and misplaced his ID. He should have been allowed to retrieve his ID from where ever it was and return to the library at that point. [/qb][/QUOTE]Sac State police officers are CHP, if you think campus police officers are just regular security guards or students who want to be cops your 100% wrong. [/qb][/QUOTE]Dana don't try and match wits with me on something you know nothing about. CSU Sacramento's Police Department IS NOT CHP. As I already previously stated I'd be happy to grab one of our relatives to set you straight if you fail to understand. Unless CSUS has changed their LE contract within the last month they have and will continue to be CSUS PD. You may see CHP vehicles on campus due to job fairs or the occassional drive throughs but again CHP does not provide services to CSU or UC regents. When did I EVER state that campus cops are "security guards" or "students who wannabe cops"? Campus police officers at CSU or UC levels and even JC PD's generally ONLY hire persons whom posess PC830 academy training and have a POST certificate in hand. Dana I've taken this route so unless you have please don't argue about the facts. [/qb][/QUOTE]They are CHP officers, i talked to them before i started my first semester to find out how safe my Mustang would be on campus. You can get your relatives out and prove yourself wrong i don't care. [/QB][/QUOTE]
