I do have a job. I am not spinning anything, my thoughts/memories are real. It is painfully obvious you are biased. You didn't even see the video? Wow. I do not care that you CLAIMED to do your job either...door swings both ways bud.

 

Officer made his decision too.

 

If your memories are so painful to this day, maybe you talk to counselor instead of relishing in other people's mistakes. The officer messed up and he paid the price. No need for someone like you who hasn't walked a mile in his shoe attempting to rub his nose in it or rejoicing.

Serious question.

 

 

Do university cops (UK,NKU) have the same power as a county/city cop?

 

I was pulled over back in the summer by an NKU cop and I honestly had no idea they could do that.

 

Yes they have the same powers.

I read elsewhere that UK police do not have jurisdiction off of campus. I have no idea if that is true or not.

Looks like the video has been removed from the Internet.

 

Let me just say this: I haven't seen the video, but it sounds like the kid baited the cop & hooked him. I wish i could say that im surprised the cop fell for it, but quite frankly I'm not.

 

I have seen them abuse their power far too many times.

You're biased because you are upset for the officer in the video etc. I made my post based on my negative experiences with the UK Police and I do not have a criminal record myself, just observations at the time.

 

I'll admit to poor word choice in my original post nothing more.

 

FYI- the kid in the video is not mine, nor do I condone his behavior/ comments. :isurrender:

 

 

 

 

I'm bias because I think anyone who's glad to see someone lose their job for being goated into a mistake is classless?

 

I'm all about being reprimanded for your transgressions. Like I said, I do it almost all the time. Taking joy in it, is something sad people do. Misery loves company I suppose.

I've heard that NKU cops are getting more jurisdiction. I beleive they have the right to patrol US 27 now...

Just on campus though, right?

 

Depends on the type of city. The KRS has all the classifications. Some city PD's have county wide jurisdiction, some smaller departments don't, but all university officers go through the same DOCJT academy that every other officer in the state outside of KSP, Lexington Metro, and Louisville Metro go through, so they are Peace Officers in the eyes of the Commonwealth. There are also what are known as "interagency agreements" where another agency can request help from a different agency. During the ice storm several smaller agencies reqeusted help from larger ones, even in different counties.

I don't care about the officer to be "upset". Like I said in an earlier post. He messed up and that's on him. Plenty of cops don't need to be cops. Doesn't mean I'm glad to see them lose their jobs. I'm more upset to see them make the mistake or lose their way. Maybe he'll get a second chance elsewhere and learn from this.

I had no idea...

From the University of Kentucky Police website:

 

"They have law enforcement authority on property owned, leased, or occupied by the University and streets that run through those properties."

 

From the Northern Kentucky University Police website:

 

University police have jurisdiction over all university properties. Jurisdiction is extended to off-campus locations when requested by other law enforcement agencies.

Murray State University > Training

 

I couldn't find anything like what you found on MSU's page AJG

 

I found this on Murray State University's page:

 

Officers have formal law enforcement authority, including the authority to arrest individuals, on property owned or controlled by the University and on streets running through and adjacent to the campus. They are also empowered to conduct investigations anywhere in the Commonwealth of Kentucky for crimes originating on campus. Pursuant to KRS 164.955, the Murray State Police has entered into a Jurisdictional Agreement with the Sheriff of Calloway County, Kentucky and the City of Murray Police Department whereby the Murray State Police jurisdiction is established to the extent of the county lines of Calloway County , Kentucky . The Murray State Police investigates all reports of crime on campus and, therefore, does not have a written Memorandum of Understanding with any local law enforcement agency for the investigation of certain crimes on campus.

 

Am I reading it right to think that would mean that the MSU police have jusidiction all over Calloway County?

 

Just on campus though, right?

 

Typically I'd say they have authority on campus and maybe a small area just outside of the campus. I'd also say its possible that most campus PD's have agreements with the city/county that gives them jurisdiction outside of campus if necessary.

I did a search on it. I've posted the jurisdictions for UK, NKU and Murray up above. That's pretty much the way it goes, UK just has jurisdiction on campus and on any road running through campus unless investigating a crime that occurred on campus. NKU and MSU have agreements with the local agencies that extend theirs--Murray's all over Calloway County if I read it correctly.
