They obtained a warrant, searched my bag, determined that unless I was planning on throwing my physics notes at someone (which reminds me I left a notebook on the desk in class…. I’ll have to get it tomorrow) I had nothing that was illegal in my bag.
Posting on gun forums can get you searched. And that's all the "probable cause" needed to obtain a warrant in the police state we have allowed ourselves to devolve into.
I applaud this guy's refusal to allow the cops to search his backpack without a warrant--that showed courage most don't have.
That said, I would have objected to a search of my person as well, and I certainly wouldn't be posting after the fact about how polite my tormentors were during my coerced ordeal--where enemies who outnumbered me were prepared to kill me if I didn't comply with their orders. I certainly wouldn't be apologizing "for making [their] jobs harder."
I'd also be demanding to know who my accuser was. Problem is, most college students don't have the money to pursue legal claims, and it's not like this is meat for contingency lawyers--so unless someone like the ACLU steps up to the plate, and considering their position on guns that ain't gonna happen--legal resolution seems unlikely.
