That’s fine, then why not enforce the laws equally? Cops should be creeping into tailgates in all lots asking for ID’s by your logic . Stop the discrimination in the blue lot.
I've beaten the horse to deaf about the students and the Alley. Simply no need to be aggressively targeting underage drinking. simply police the lots and stop drunk and disorderly behavior. My 20 year old neighbor drinking a beer in a red cup with her parents and relatives should not be id'd. It's certainly not worthy of a wasted day in court and a $1000 fine. The students have figured it out.....they simply don't go. It's not worth the $1,000 ticket. RU is loosing a generation of fans. Much easier to create a fan while they're on campus than to attract them back once they're gone.
I was at Maryland last week and saw 2 police cars in the UM lots. We walked the entire campus and hit the RV lot, the Infinity Center lot, lot 1, around stadium and only saw those 2 police cars. No cops on quads, not cops walking the lots. I'm told they have a "greek lot" ( not for Homecoming last week). UM uses an honor system regarding underage drinking since their students are adults, like ours. If over 21, can bring a 12 pack of beer into lot. No glass-No hard alcohol-no drugs. Wristbands distributed via greek orgs. Lot is "policed" from afar. Any drunk/disorderly/unsafe behavior is removed, everyone else enjoys a college football saturday. Sounds just like the Alley. Give students a reason to enjoy the day with friends and form a bond with their University. $1,000 tickets build a great fan and donor base.......you know, those things we're sorely lacking.
