While I disagree with the direction the Court is going with ever increasing police power, I have to deal with the law as it stands presently. Thus, in Justin's case I know the officer would say something like "We had several instances of students drinking at the dance. I saw the suspect turn the corner after midnight and when he approached and saw me he threw a container in the trash can. I made a brief, unintrusive investigatory stop to determine his identity and activity on the campus. When I determined he was not drinking, I let him continue on his way."

I have no doubt Justin was behaving himself and doing nothing wrong. However the officer did not know him or what he threw in the trash can. Yeah he was probably rude to Justin but that is not a crime. And in the end the campus cop believed Justin, too.

I don't agree with some of our laws but I gotta deal with the hand I'm dealt.

No disrespect Moses (and I certainly understand your ire), but maybe you should let Justin deal with it as he sees fit. Let him choose his own battles now that he's a full growed man. But let's play it out. You write a scathing letter to the President. The cop is called on the carpet. Preident sees officer's side. Nevertheless President writes you a concilliatory letter to calm you down, Justin gets branded as a rich doctor's kid who's throwing his weight around. Campus police all know him now. OR...Justin runs into the cop again and the cop remembers him as a polite cooperative student who was not drinking when a bunch of other kids were that night. HMMMMMMM
