Armed Robbery

Two DPS officers approached a pair of students in an alley on 14th street just north of Wells St. These officers then demanded to now what was in the backpacks of the students, upon finding beer, the officers then confiscated the beer, and took a fake identification from one of the students. This is of course illegal. I cannot go up to you take your backpack, search through it, and then confiscate any items in it, regardless of whether or not you can legally possess said items. DPS cannot do this either. Therefore, since they used their arms as a means of intimidation, the officers are guilty of armed robbery. If I walk up to you pull a gun and demand to see your backpack, and if it, for example, has marijuana in it, I cannot confiscate it, no, that would be armed robbery, even if I left my gun in its holster, that would still be armed robbery. Once again DPS flaunts the law and fail to realize that its officers are not in fact police officers, but rather security guards. So if in the future at any point in time a DPS officer approaches you anywhere that is not on campus property, do not let them search you, but rather fight back against this assault on freedom, and call the police if they try to search you.
