One issue
that I find critically piss off worthy is the use of Whitewater cops at UWW.
The cops here are used as a flitering mechanism to balance out the
universities overload of students. Overall, I have heard stories of
abuse, lying, paying off rats, ticketing off hearsay, and just a bunch of dirty
cop work. Even though cops are allowed to lie to students, the cops will
lie about your rights, and morally that seems wrong to me. They use rules
such as "cannot be in the presence of alcohol", that rule alone could
convict any student at some time. The cops make up rules, and lie to kids
that do not know their rights. They search hallways as extra work which
would go against the 3rd amendment, if the university wasn't on the side of the
police. The atmosphere of the entire campus is being put down and I
believe if the cops do not change their ways Whitewater will start losing money
because of a lack of students. All of my freshman friends want to leave,
leave every weekend, and consider the dorms to be a living hell, a jailcell.
The police are everywhere and have taken the fun out of everything.
I believe that in the living room with my parents I could have gotten
away with more than here at Whitewater.
College
is supposed to be a time to discover who you are through social connects.
Honestly, how is anyone supposed to do that when everyone is getting
tickets for harmless crimes that even parents would allow? I understand
that police are supposed to stop people from doing crimes, but this is a college
campus, we are in the primes of our lives in the most fresh state of mind and
physical health. What the hell are we supposed to do on weekends besides party
and meet people? The problem is the police are going nuts this year and
its filtering system is working…but word of mouth will hit this school right
across the face when word gets out that it feels like a concentration camp
during weekends. It's empty, no noise, police arresting all the time,
everywhere, no emotion, no communication.
