Police disrupt class to arrest student
By Michiela Thuman
A UNL student was caUed out of her English class in
Andrews Hall last week, and arrested for three parking
violations she says were not hers.
Hie student, who wished to remain anonymous, said
the police officers, two from the Lincoln Police Depart
ment and one from the University Police, stood outside
the door of Andrews Hall 39 last Tuesday and motioned
the teacher to come outside. The teacher, Maureen Hon
ey, an assistant professor of English, said that when she
went out, the police told her they wanted to speak with
a student. Honey said because only five minutes were left
in the class period, she asked the officers to wait outside.
She then re-entered the classroom and after class quietly
spoke to the student in question.
The student said she was then arrested for three park
ing violations from 1980, which were collected on a ve
hicle that she no longer owns. However, the student said
she did not remove the old license plates before selling
the car.

"I thought I was selling it for parts," the student said.
"It wasn't even running when I sold it."
Honey was angry about the police action.
"It was all quite a serious matter and she (the student)
was very shaken up and taken off guard," Honey said.
"I talked to her after the incident occurred. I'm quite
outraged with what the police did."
Honey said she was angered because the police disrupt
ed a class and embarrassed the student in front of her
peers for such a "trivial matter" as parking tickets.
"I don't think the crime justified that type of action
at all," Honey said.
The student said, "The policemen were very polite,
yet I got the impression they were amused. It wasn't
such an emergency that they couldn't have waited until I
got home."
The student said she was lucky she had enough cash to
pay her fines and court expenses, and fortunate that she
could go before a judge immediately.
The student was taken before a judge immediately
after he English class where she pleaded guilty to the park
ing charges. She said she did not plead innocent because
she feared that it would be more costly to hire a lawyer
in her defense than pay the more than $75 in fines and
court costs.
"It's just another example of buying one's way to jus
tice," she said.
As far as the Lincoln Police Department is concerned,
if the student's name was on the registration or the license
plates were registered in her name, the veliicle is the stu
dent's responsibility. Is doesn't matter whether the ve
lucle is in that person's possession or not, according to a
representative of the Lincoln Police Department who
wished to remain nameless.
If there is a warrant out for a person the officer's only
responsibility is to arrest that person and have him or her
answer that warrant before a judge, he said.
"It was her responsibility to remove the plates and if
she didn't we have no way of knowing if it (the vehicle)
is still registered to her or not," the LPD officer said.
There is no proof that the arresting officers did not
first attempt to contact the student at home before track
ing her down at school, he said. He suggested that since
the warrants were two years old the officers had pro
bably tried to contact the student at home first.
