Question is it true that alcohol possession by a <21 year old is a now a warning? Will this allow for more students to tailgate near the stadium (assuming things get back to normal)? Thanks
Weed law and tailgating

If true, it’s a dark day in the middlesex county sheriff’s department
Yes. The thing is those sheriffs officers are technically real cops . But as far as I understand they’re mostly glorified security guards in county buildings and transport of prisoners . They do no to little community policing except for 6 rutgers football games a year . What could go wrong ?
And their training is practically non-existent. All it takes is political connections.
people always have and always will use some kind of drugs.
the nation's number one agenda as to rec drugs should be to channel everyone toward pot, and away from everything else.
this isn't rocket science.

Oh...Great....so now we can start smoking at Rutgers tailgates. 😎
Are you saying people under 21 might drink now?
Wow, I wonder if kids in college will start drinking now.

Shouldn't be too much of an issue, in my experience it's like this at a lot of places. If anything should increase turnout lol
I know, right, it was definitely the laws being changed that REALLY made the state safe. 🙄
This is a very interesting development and would be curious to see who wrote this legislation.
Seems very deliberate and designed to stop police from contact with youth that has led ( in some cases) with tragic results for the offender and the police officer.
Time will tell the implications ...

I had no idea that alcohol was tucked in the legislation (if true).
But if it is true , this would be significantly boost to the quality of enjoyment for college kids throughout the state! And I personally hope it brings the students back onto Busch for tailgates

Pot is legal in 15 states....some of them for a number of years.
I can't figure why any freedom-loving American would have a problem with that.

Ron Rice inserted the poison pill.
Murphy swallowed it.
However, now the legislature can watch for problems in the new law and negotiate even more laws to patcb the holes opened by this law. Trying to be an omnibus marijuana reform law that tried to foresee and fix all problems all at once is why it took 3+ years in the first place.
Given warnings won't make them money, I am not so sure. Their whole existence has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with revenue generation.
LOL. When I read the law my first thought was Middlesex County Sheriff and NBPD are going to have their budgets pummelled.
The law is even better than we thought!
RU has coed dorms, doesn't have minus grades, and weed is legal in NJ and you can't be harassed for drinking or smoking weed before turning 21.
Not things the school will necessarily itself advertise, but all things that make RU a lot more fun than say, a school in Central PA which has none of that.
Well, considering the police now can't generate revenue off of victimless crimes like 20 year olds drinking White Claw and smoking weed, maybe they can dedicate themselves to actual problems.
It's almost like the Middlesex County Sheriff can now focus on the crime-ridden areas of NB and Perth Amboy instead of say, fining parents who let their 18 year old drink a beer with them at a tailgate.
There was a shooting off Easton Ave a few months ago. How about more investigations into that and less into plants and wine coolers? I know that'd make me feel safer.
100% sure the fines will go to the adults that are there with them for providing alcohol to minors
Which is one thing.
Driving drunk should be seriously punished.
I would bet no students are driving to the tailgate.
There will be a ton of underage college students drinking with 21+ college students.
Also curious, if it is on public grounds, why would a parent be allowed to give alcohol to their minor children?
So you can sue the state of NJ ,Murphy and those who passed and signed this legislation? Wait until some under age kid drives drunk and kills one of someone’s family. Now that will be interesting.
If this was true when I was growing up I would have:
- Never huffed gas out of boredom
- Been roughed up by cops 2 fewer times than I have been
- Not have a general resentment toward cops
- Probably would have been less focused on drinking as a form of rebellion

You understand it’s all still illegal right?
You are telling me it’s illegal with no actual consequences and that’s not a good thing? I never had a problem with any 17- 22 year old drinking at a tailgate. It’s been done by most college age kids. Some are legal age ... many not. What I did not like were the fights, the sloppy falling all over, puking all over the campus but as you said it’s illegal with no overt consequences .
What about the 14-15 year olds drinking and toking heavily at the tailgate? They have a Get out of Jail Free Card.
But they don’t need to come to the RU game.
They can do it in their own neighborhood with the same protection. Maybe in your front yard.
