Campus Watch Incident, A First Hand Account 21/7/08

Check out comment for full report

To update this incident on Tuesday night July 28th, J.W. was visited at his residence by the police. The police served J.W. with a trespass notice to the university. The notice was in fact not signed by the University. This amounts to a targeted expulsion of a perceived troublemaker with no evidence of any crime being committed other than resisting his surveillance at the hands of campus watch.
