If cops are going to target students, then the students need to learn their rights. DO NOT ANSWER THE DOOR EVER FOR THE POLICE. If the police can legally enter your house they will just kick down your door. They are knocking because they do not have a warrant and a legal right to enter. You do not even legally have to talk to the police so DO NOT EVEN OPEN THE DOOR OR SPEAK WITH THE POLICE. Just make sure nothing is in plain sight, have all outside doors locked, turn the music down, make sure no one leaves with the cops outside and keep on partying. The cops will not be able to bust any one this way. There is not enough evidence for a warrant and will take the cops too long to get one if a judge writes them one. So eventually the cops will just go away upset that you know you're rights. It is not your fault that the Federal 21 drinking age is a bad law. The police are not your friends they are here to arrest and ticket you. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

What else is there to do in uwp besides party? Let them get an education and have some fun on the weekends. My son goes there and he tells me that he's afraid to go to parties because of how bad the police are now. I thought partying was apart of meeting new people and the whole college experience? Let them have their fun and worry about something else thats more important.
