Big difference between us watching the government and the government watching everything the citizens do. One works in a democracy and the other doesn't. Can you figure out which one? In a democracy the citizens must know what the government agencies are doing in order to keep them in check. Our constitution is what is supposed to keep the government out of our everyday lives. I shouldn't have to explain this to grown adults who have taken a civics class. The ND Police are an acting agency of our govt who's job it is to protect the citizens and are not above reproach in any situation except in protecting the rights of those citizens. As citizens we have a right to know if they are doing their job correctly and hold them accountable if they are not. The only way they do not fall under those circumstances is if they are a private security team, which there are still certain laws they would have to follow, but they would not have the right to sight you for a crime in that situation. They could only force you from campus and/or inform the real police.
