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

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 ?It’s still going to be against the law, so I’m sure those rent-a-cops will continue to harass people and will write up those warnings like they are going out of style.
And their training is practically non-existent. All it takes is political connections.Yes. The thing is those sheriffs officers are technically real cops .

I think you shouid give enough room from the car in front of you to brake safely when necessary.
Beer drinking now allowed by all teens . Cops can't do sh....t to them not even tell their parents . They do and THE COP can go to jail and get a HEAVY fine. Thanks murphy .
Looks like it:Are you saying people under 21 might drink now?
Wow.Lawmakers voted to remove criminal penalties and only issue warnings to people under 21 caught with marijuana or alcohol Monday morning, putting a progressive proposal on Gov. Phil Murphy’s desk and hoping he will quickly sign it and two other bills to overhaul New Jersey’s marijuana laws.
I know, right, it was definitely the laws being changed that REALLY made the state safe. 🙄This is REALLY going to make this state safe 🙄
Ron Rice inserted the poison pill.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 ...
It took 3+ years because THIS is New Jersey.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.
It’s still going to be against the law, so I’m sure those rent-a-cops will continue to harass people and will write up those warnings like they are going out of style.
If true, it’s a dark day in the middlesex county sheriff’s department
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
This is REALLY going to make this state safe 🙄
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.
100% sure the fines will go to the adults that are there with them for providing alcohol to minorsGiven 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.

I expect a lot more police checkpoints
There will be a ton of underage college students drinking with 21+ college students.Not sure they can do that when it's a parent.
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.

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 .You understand it’s all still illegal right?
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.
