The law, passed by the Legis lature last month, goes into effect Sept 9 and gives public safety officers on state college campuses the right to stop peo ple and search them for weapons if there is a reason to do so. Current laws allow the offi cers to make arrests if they have probable cause, according to state law. However, officers have not been able to stop people or frisk them against their will. University Public Safety Director Carey Drayton said it is about time the laws were changed. If you ask a person to do a particular job, you should give them the necessary tools to do that job," Drayton said. But some say they are not sure the law is necessary jam- Lesser, a lobbyist for the Oregon Student Lobby who worked on the bill when it was in the Legislature, said the new law i ould lie abused if it is not monitored Many opponents see it as an infringement on stu dents' rights To help control potential abuse of the law, an amend ment was included that requires the state higher educa tion system to re(>ort to the Dig islature by Ian 1. 1997. on the law 's effects. Leaser said. “We are going to have to keep a close eye on how (the law! is implemented on the campus**," slut said Lesser said the intent of the legislation to protect the stu dents on campus is valid, but it may be used without probable cause Hut Drayton said that is inac - curate, The officers have to fol low* the existing laws and the Constitution, which require probable cause for any stop or search People have to understand, Drayton said, that it is a verv dangerous situation for officers to put their hands on people Needles and knives can carry diseases and injure officers Drayton gave the following example If officers see a tran sient near a building late at night, they will call the Eugene polic e. If d turns out the person is wanted by police, then the officers should bo able to hand cuff and frisk the transient for weapons — for the officers' own safety while waiting for the police In arrive Currently, the law is not dear on that issue. bui after Sept <i the offit ers will have the right to stop the stispei t ami search him or her for weapons Thu of fit., ora are already in danger. Drayton said; this low offers them a small amount of safety. "I The law! will make me sleep better at Might," he said The public safety office is made up of five Eugene police offii ers, who work on campus under a contract the Universi ty has with Eugene police, in addition to its own security staff OPS officers must spend a year on the job without ever taking reports This will give them a chant e to get trained to the level necessary for the jrosi tion, Drayton said All of the officers who will he able to frisk people will have police training before they are allowed to Ire on the job. ■ GOOD MORNING ft* HATFIELD.
