just party on dark side and the cops will never bother you.

suspicious activity is a touchy subject. suspecious activity does not mean an act providing probable cause to believe a crime has been or may be committed, it simply is an action, clothing, areas for congregation that is not typically seen in a certian area reguarly. it is out of the "norm" so to say. so if a guy is walking down the street leaning to one side, head down, and swaying as he walks justifies suspicious activity because thats not something you usually see on a daily basis.

yea fuckin right! all the cops do is hang around campus waiting to give someone an alcohol charge. i dont see em ever doin that in other parts of radford! oh and also speeding? are u kidding me thats like a red flag for them to pull u over and try to give u a dui or search your car or some bullshit

It's called "DUI enforcement". Seeing somebody who may swerve, go to slow when an officer is behind them, ride the center line, ride the white line, constantly break, make any sudden movements, or simply come out of a very high crime area; these all warrant an officers stopping of the vehicle. If the person isn't DUI, DUID, carrying drugs, driving recklessly, and has no outstanding warrants, then they have nothing to be concerned about. Get over it. BTW, I know for a fact that it isn't illegal.

Good for you Radord Police Department! Keep up the good work.

They don't arrest people for having a lip or having a medical condition. They do not arrest people for stumbling around. What I said was if they witness that, it gives them probable cause to investigate further. I'm confused how you think this is profiling. If someone is drunk in public then they broke the law. They're not unfairly treated because a cop profiled them as being drunk, they WERE drunk.
No one gets arrested if they have a medical condition or trip out of their own carelessness.

Buddy, you are not winning this debate. The only thing you are correct on is where you say: "If Radford PD really wanted to they could have hundreds of arrests per night but as you well know that's not the case."
Everything else about thinking someone is drunk could be due to medical conditions, a limp, etc. And don't compare this to running a red light--they are not the same.
"Profiling everyone on the basis that they broke a law is not profiling."
This comment makes no sense.

Anyone agreeing with the cops here obviously has never gone to Radford and dealt with these guys. You are encouraged not to drive drunk however if you walk home drunk you get harassed and taken to jail for drunk in public. I understand Obnoxious drunk people in the street but thats not the case the majority of the time. As an alumn who got out just as it started to get bad, you arent safe walking home after a night of partying. And what you arent safe from is the cops.

No, that's ok. A lot of the public intoxication charges are of over aged persons though, these are people that may not fit the student profile. My point was that even if you can drink you still have a responsibility to do it legally. Thanks for the cookie offer though. I'm not really debating you either, I'm just trying to figure out what you mean by profiling and I'm trying to explain to you why this petition obviously didn't go anywhere. So really, you already lost?
