ok, background...large, local locked down major NC mental health facility has 'campus security' who, in NC are BLET sworn employees but are not actually sworn LE associated with an agency! there is a 2 lane State Route running through the main campus. these 'campus security' run speed traps along all perimeter paved roads.
today, standing in the middle of the State Route were 5 uniformed 'campus security' employees stopping traffic both ways ~ doing a DL check, no insurance, nothing else. when proffering my DL through the window, as required by law stated i was armed ~ reaction whatsoever.
away i went. called state troopers who advised they could do that it is there property...when it was pointed out they're on the SR doing a DL check the state trooper's dispatch said...'OH REALLY I'll check into it!! click.DL
my question is are these type of impromptu DL stops 'legal' or are they suppose to be 'announced' like DWI checks...
and the concept of 'campus security' doing pulling these type of stops and if they find someone's DL is not in order?
anybody have input...
