re: LSUPD Crackdown on Tailgates

One underaged kid was caught so they decided to take all of our kegs.

Is this even legal?

true, but I found the enforcement of these inconsistent. There were student tailgates near us that had beer pong and were acting much more out of line. yet, they never got confronted by the police. I think they just look to go after larger student tailgates first regardless of how obnoxious they may or may not be.

...were you serving minors or not? This does NOT excuse you from the law. Either you broke the law or not. Period.

if you aren't causing problems, why should they come and mess with you?

the law is the law

It really pisses me off when cops crack down on lawbreakers.

Those bastards.

my only beef with them is be consistent with it, and not act like complete assholes about the situation unless need be.

There's a reason why there are large student tailgates, many of them serving to underage kids. There's never been enforcement on gamedays unless you were visibly drunk, walking around with a drink, holding a can/bottle, or outside of your tent. You can't blame students for being used to how drinking has regularly been loosely enforced in years past. We take measures to reduce risk if underage, but suddenly, those don't matter anymore because they are now cracking down even if you're acting normal inside your tent.

The law is the law. I understand. But don't pick on just certain student tailgates and at least understand why student tailgates are how they are.

See my first post in this thread... myself and two buddies were walking to the game, legal drinking age.

How dare them card you.

What about when they pull out their huge law cocks to screw some people over who did nothing wrong? Does that piss you off? Cause it pisses me off.

Apparently you can't camp out anymore either. We've done it on Friday nights for years and they came by and told us we couldn't do it anymore. Last year during the game some of our group were outside watching the game on TV fed the cops & they said they thought it was a "good idea" that we camped out. Now we can't. Guess the powers that be are passing down some new rules. Can't fault them though. They are just doing their jobs.

when I asked him about it he told me to "frick off" or he was going to give us 70 contributing counts

I give you the oh so professional LSUPD.

Bunch of fricking Barney Fife wannabees.

I just told him thanks and that I'll see him again someday when I'm a lawyer and he's still working as a pathedic LSU policeman.
