There is a difference between:
Defying authority that is acting in a lawful manner
AND
Defying authority that is acting under color of that authority while overstepping it.
I attend college. The school policy is no weapons even though state law specifically prohibits them from regulating weapons. I carry an empty holster every day of class. It's not got my firearm in it because I don't want to be expelled and challenging them that directly would result in expulsion. However, I am working on my grievance to file with the school directly challenging, on the record, their unlawful policy. The results of that grievane will be either changing their policy to be in compliance with state law OR denying it at which time I will move it up the chain, possibly including a civil lawsuit (though I don't know if that would fly).
They also have a policy that you can not smoke within 20 feet of their buildings. State law is only 10 feet from a door or window. Interestingly, their buildings are on city streets with sidewalks along side the buildings. The city property goes directly up to the building wall. I regularly walk right past the main administration building while smoking on the public sidewalk as well as down the city owned alleyway between two of the buildings. In the past, they haveticketed students for smoking on the sidewalks and word is that they are getting ready to crack down again. Problem is, they have no jurisdiction at all on the public sidewalk and the security officers are NOT police officers. They get no ID, no name, no nothing.
Both acts are defiance and the school policy is that you can not defy the school authorities. Policy makes no distinction between authorities acting within the law or not.I do make that distinction. I'm new to the school, in my second quarter, so we'll see how it goes. SMILE
