Just after midnight, a campus safety officer detained two students walking in the basement of SMC and accused them of removing signs from bathroom doors and demanded to search one of their bags. When the students refused the search on the basis of their 4th amendment rights, the officer lied to them, saying that those rights did not apply on private property, and called the police. the police officer who searched AND violated the student's 4th amendment rights told the campus safety officer, "we cannot legally search them", however proceeded to searching both students, without a warrant and without consent.
- In not having conducted a search, Campus Safety cannot have infringed on anyone's Constitutional rights.

Late, after Girl Talk, Campus Safety called the police on an intoxicated student who was on campus, violating the Good Samaritan policy.
- The Good Samaritan policy only protects students from college rules, not federal, state, or local laws.

In the early morning, a student left belongings in Founders, while computers were restarting, and Campus Safety took the liberty of searching the students personal belongings, without the student present, or consent from that student.
- Good faith searches of unattended property in order to identify an owner are neither unlawful nor uncommon.

Campus security was seen and over heard referencing the use of pepper spray on a student during the afternoon.
- Unfounded. Also, "referencing" is not misconduct.
