This past friday, my “sister house” decided to have a cookout and invite a bunch of friends over since we all don’t get to see each other much.  It was a great idea and there was a really good turn out.  We all got to have burgers, brats, hot dogs and normal grill out food!  Mix in a bonfire later and a little corn hole and it was a great college night.  And then comes AU security haha…..

     Apparently, someone two blocks away called and said that there were AU students having a cookout and that there might be alcohol (which is against AU policy regardless of age).  Of courese there wasn’t at all, but that didn’t stop their diligance in the matter.  A student who lives next door went to his car to get something and apparently heard the following dialogue.  An Anderson cop showed up and asked the AU security individuals what they were doing.  According to our neighbor, AU security planned on breathalizing everyone there!  The Anderson cop asked if they had seen any probable cause, aka bottles, smelled alcohol or anyone was acting disorderly as if drunk.  Of course they hadn’t ’cause there wasn’t anything there haha!  Security responded by saying they hadn’t but were just planning on breathalizing everyone there.  The AU cop then informed them that that was illegal and if they did that, he was taking THEM to jail ha.

    Yea, I’ve got my beefs with security, both personal and in general, but this one takes the cake!  I don’t know why they feel like they CAN do that or that they SHOULD do that or WHY.  Maybe they’re bored, I don’t know.  I guess instead of actually “busting” AU drinking parties (if that’s what they want to do), help escort a girl to her dorm or solve any unsolved mysteries lingering around, they would rather search the grounds and the house of a dry cookout and bonfire and then linger around for another half an hour…’cause that’s what they did ha.  WOW….so anyway, here’s to you AU security!
