If any university security staff threatens to have you arrested, call his bluff. Odds are, 90% of the time law enforcement will tell them to pound sand. The remaining 10% of cases come with a big paycheck.

At least he said it out loud. The officer was super clear. The requirement is in place specifically to violate the first amendment rights of people they don't like.

Boo, Black Hills State.

Should contact local aclu and sue them.

Such a shame that too many colleges and universities- that should have an ethic of free speech, discussion, and debate- are instead restricting or forbidding it.

How would one get trespassed from a college they're enrolled in?

[colinmackie]

I would have taken the paperwork read it and then tore it up in front of him. Then I would have called the police on HIM.!!

Sounds like there is a fee involved with getting a permit.

Coming in late on this…. Was there a follow up with the University and Campus Security to educate them that their policy was unconstitutional?

The Officer has had a deep long drink of the cool-aid. Thanks for what you all do and greetings from NJ. I tried twice to make my modest donation on your website twice< I can't figure it out. The Institute for Justice website was much easier for me to use.

First off, the language on this welfare recipient. Second, you could literally see the switch in this pos flip the moment the kids started to question his bs. Wow.

[ctom]

Right off the start they say it's a "policy".
I give no F's about policy.
Although a student might need to follow SOME of those policies, I sure don't.

We need to get this channel subscribership up to 50k by June. Please share and spread the word?

[hammockcamping]

What was the outcome... What happened next?

[wptx]

Can you address if this policy would be different if it was a private University versus a publicly-funded university?

[maureenkempton]

Wow cops will try anything to stop the people bloody 🤥 liars teach them something guys and gal's ❤❤

FYI the link in the description is broken. As this matter was resolved, you should add the information on your case page to the description.

ahhH I wanted to watch the rest of their video where they make the cops walk the shame walk.

This is why I’m reluctant about going back to college.
