In college campuses
around the U.S., many students feel like their civil liberties are being
trampled on. They can be charged for
odd, inexplicable things like ‘intent to drink’. Students feel this charge makes little
sense. So to make students feel better
about their rights, many college towns are repealing older laws and nullifying
unfair charges. The catch is, however,
police officers will now be allowed to lie about what the law is. That way, students will have all of their
civil liberties back, they just won’t be able to tell which ones they get back.
“We feel that giving too much freedom to college students
is just asking for trouble” said one college president. He asked to remain unidentified (which is
legal. Or is it? Who are you to judge?) “Giving kids privileges like ‘civil
liberties’ and ‘constitutionally guaranteed rights’ just puts the university
and its reputation at stake. We can’t
have kids running around doing crazy things and then using their god-given
rights to justify them. What if someone
uses their first amendment rights to disagree with me?”
There were counter arguments to these new laws, but most
students trying to argue against them were too afraid to. “I was going to say that we all have the
right to know what the law is, but then a police officer said that if I cited
the constitution, he could confiscate my pancreas as evidence for disorderly
conduct” said one protesting student. He
asked to remain unidentified. If you
have any information on which student this is, please contact the
authorities. If the police department
receives no information on the matter, the police can legally break into your
house in the dead of night and take all your puppies. You know, as evidence.
