They are sucking the life out of Mississippi State University. They have no interest in protecting MSU students they just like busting up in bars with their
tazers drawn looking for a way to ruin a students semester. The SPD are a bunch of young peckerwoods that suck at life. Mississippi State will never get to the
next level that Keenum and Co. wanna take it if this contiunues and we will always be "the town that fun forgot."

..and believe it or not, he didnt carry a gun. He was a true Andy if there ever was one. He helped me out of a couple of jams. but believe me, he dressed me
down to where I was so ashamed of myself that I never did it again. Great Chief.

State Laws apply on Military Bases | #42 | ||
|
Posts: 615 03/04/09 08:59 AM |
It doesn't matter what State you are in, the laws of the state apply on the military base located in that state. That applies not only to drinking age but
to other issues, for example, age of consent, definition of emancipated minor, etc. However, U.S. Federal Military Installations located on foreign soil are
considered under jurisdiction of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). However, the military base frequently follows the local laws and traditions
with respect to drinking age, etc, based on the issues addressed in the Status of Forces Agreement with the foreign country.

There is no drinking in Iraq | #43 | ||

Unless you get it mailed from home, which is what I did. The military, in foreign countries, adapts to the rules and laws of that country. In Iraq, like most
Muslim countries, it is illegal to drink, therefore, the military can't drink either.
I'm not a 100% sure what the rule is on military bases. I know in Mississippi and Kentucky, you can't buy alcohol on a military base until 21. Don't know if that is the standard for all bases tho. |

I was at MSU from 80 through 84 when the drinking age was 18 for beer. My daughter is a junior at MSU now and the times have definitely changed. The ABC
"swat" style raids at the bar and even private parties using unnecessary intimidation tactics in order to meet their MIP quotas are ridiculous. We
have also experienced some of the young SPD officers showing up at parties on the pretense of "noise complaints" only to loiter around hitting on the
young ladies and offering them "rides" in the squad car. A MIP is a serious matter and is a criminal record (unless expunged) that would have to be
truthfully reported on any employment application, grad school, law school or medical school application.

It is not your right to be able to drink in a bar at 20. | #45 | ||

You act like it is. Now I got an MIP a couple years ago, but I can fully admit it was my own fault. That's the risk you run, and if you get caught suck it
up because it's your own fault. Other than that I agree with your post.

applications ask about everything, expunged or not. I have friends who have been given the runaround for months, if not years, by different Bar Associations
for not disclosing simple MIPs on their law school applications and/or bar applications. Even the simple, silly offenses can cause major headaches.

It's not so much the getting into school, it's the being admitted to practice after spending all the money to graduate.

Part of the problem | #50 | ||
|
Posts: 6 03/04/09 11:22 AM |
Part of the problem is that students who do follow the law, that is leave their cars and walk home, get busted for public drunk. I know a guy who walked
out of a bar to his house across the street and was on his porch when the SPD pulled into his driveway and arrested him for public drunk.

I was in Starkville for 4 years, had ONE problem with SPD | #51 | ||
|
Posts: 14 03/04/09 11:29 AM |
and it was a ticket for speeding on 12. I probably was going a few miles over but the way he stopped me was kind of shady. He didn't even have me on radar,
just said he estimated that I was speeding by about 10 mph. I ended up paying the ticket because a college student has little to no chance of winning that one
in court but oh well. I am sure there a few unfortunate and uncalled for occurrences but they aren't perfect and are humans too.
I myself liked to go out and party with friends, quite often.....and we never had the first problem with the SPD. In fact, most of them were pretty nice. Most of the people having problems with them are probably just immature brats who need to be taught a lesson anyway. |

cause that exact thing happened at a party I had. I had a late night several years ago and the cops came. When I saw them in my house I went up to the first
one and told him that we would get everyone out of there. Before I even finished my sentence I had handcuffs on and was arrested for "disturbing the
peace." Three friends, including two roomates asked why I was being arrested and they were immediately cuffed. The four of us spent the night in the
clink. It was so ridiculous that I wasn't even mad... it was a pretty hilarious night in the drunk tank.
Also like yall, they scattered the party so there is no telling how many drove drunk away from my house.

Thats the biggest thing..you cant win with those asshats..they are going to nail you if its the last thing they do..even if you are of age..you drive, and they
bust your ass for DUI, and if you walk, they pull up 6 cop cars and a SWAT team like David Berkowitz himself is in the group youre walking with..it is absurd
how much these douchenozzles get their jollies to arresting college kids..its all about one thing in Starkville..producing revenue..giving bull shit tickets,
while definitely warranted in some cases, is a huge revenue source for a city with few revenue streams..

and I got to tell you, they don't do it just because of the money. The Federal government floods local law enforcement with money. They don't really
need the extra money. They're just a bunch of asshats that get their rocks off by 17ing with college kids cause they were picked on by a majority of high
school populace. Sean Word is a prime example.

Exactly. Law enforcement doesn't write tickets or arrest people for the money. | #55 | ||

Posts: 10870 03/04/09 04:04 PM |
Because they don't ever see any of the fines. What they do do for the money is confiscate assets under the asset forfeiture laws. They get to keep all of
that money (or property), and they don't even have to prove that they had a valid reason for confiscating it. The burden of proof is on who they took it
from to prove they were completely innocent.
I guess it's time for the lock now. Sorry bout that. |

I lived in a house across from the Baptist church, which was also a sand wedge away from the police station. We had parties about once a month during normal
months and once a week during football season. These parties normally had anywhere from 75-150 people, a couple even more than that. People parked in the
church parking lot and up and down Washington St. We even had kegs outside on the front porch. Our parties never were busted up. In fact, the cops showed up
once at like 2 am after it had basically died down and were laughing at some guy who was passed out in his truck with the door open. They only asked if we
would take him inside and close his truck up. Super nice guys at the time.

It's a mixed-bag with him. He got two MIPs within his first two years in Starkville but he doesn't blame anyone other than himself as he was the one
guilty of underage drinking in a bar and carrying beer to a vehicle when he was only 20. I guess our parents did a better job of teaching personal
accountability than some of the parents of those bitching in this thread.
Now he has a house in a very visible part of town and throws at least one party a month. He hasn't had any problems with the cops yet.
