The dude lives in grad housing in VDC, a few hundred feet from where I live (regular Vista Del Campo). Obviously there's a gun ban on campus, best you can do is keep a knife in the apartment. I think he's a TA teaching summer session.

UCIPD has suppressors on all their AR's. Its to protect the officers ears.
didn't someone from our school get arrested last month for wearing camo gears on campus?

Nope, A guy was off campus walking to a buddies apartment because they were going airsofting. He thought it would be a bright idea to carry openly a airsoft rifle.
The campus was searched but he never even set foot on it.

the guy who posted the video(the one getting arrested) posted a comment on youtube about it.
"No...I had 2 guys in my home telling me they were changing the locks...i asked them several times to leave and get some paperwork...then I asked them if I needed a firearm to get them to leave, and they called the police. "
Man i would not like being one of those cops, especially with that guys voice.

Sounds like he brought this all on himself....call it "verbal brandishing" or whatever, but making any kind of reference to a firearm on a school campus is asking for b-i-g attention from campus LEO's.
Think VT tragedy and the current political environment....
I think the UCI police did a decent job of remaining calm and taking care of business in this situation. :thumbsup:

He also comments that some cop stepped on the copy of the constitution he tried to give him?

I wasn't joking.....A few years ago there was an incident in an Albertsons in Irvine where an officer fired an AR indoors and damaged his hearing. After medical bills and leave time the departments have figured out that Suppressor are way more cost effective.

well irvine is the safest urban city of its size in the USA. can't achieve that without a overwhelming police force that keeps the entire city locked down and arresting anyone that causes disturbances.

On what basis? The housing contract clearly states that there are no firearms allowed in dorms. He didn't have to sign it, he could have found a place outside of university's control.

Because both of those cases state that you have a right to a firearm for self defense in the home and both the UC and CSU systems are run by the state.

self-defense in the PRIVATE home. It doesn't say anything about university's housing, which is a state entity.
edit: In fact, IIRC, Nordyke decision affirmed incorporation of 2A, but also acknowledged that the county could decided to not hold the gun show.

Its your private home if you're paying the bills. Same thing when you're staying in a hotel, camping or living in an RV.
No it's not. You are leasing/renting from college. College OWNS the place, they can set whatever restriction they want to put on. You also have hoice of NOT SIGNING the lease.

This is exactly the same thing as SF trying to ban guns in city owned oublic housing. They rolled over like a kicked dog after Nordyke. UCI uses our tax dollars to provide education to the masses, which is the best way to reduce crime.

Changing the locks might have been an eviction action.
Arguing the Constitutionality of an officer's actions or the law in those circumstances will get you nowhere.
By attending classes and living in the housing he accepts the terms and conditions. If the T & C's are no firearms, he's stuck until a court decision goes his way.

Not exactly - in the S.F case, the terms and conditions were being changed after the fact. The no-gun rule on campus and in campus housing has been around for at least 20 years iirc.

By your reasoning they could put in a clause that your cant have any of your <insert minority> friends visit and it would be perfectly legal. I mean, whats the difference if it was in the lease?
You should also know that 1st amendment is not absolute. Remember that 'yelling fire in a theater' is not a smart thing to do. The post above indicates that a city decided to ban guns, which is bad since here in CA state has all the sayings in such matter. UCI is part of the state's control, so in this case, comparison to SF isn't going to fly.

I don't think you properly understand the definition of "home" with regard to it's application in law.

The student could just take an apartment outside of campus. Living in dorms is not mandatory, so attending college doesn't mean infringement of the 2A. (which is what I did)

I once went to rent an apartment, wanted to move in and when I read the lease it had a section that restricted the lessee from having a motorcycle parked on the premises - after discussing it with the landlord, who wouldn't alter the lease, I passed.
That's excercising your freedom.
In the case we're discussing, I would bet that the guy was aware from day one that he was restricted from possessing a firearm on the property, and he took the place anyway.
Let him take his case to the courts, not youtube.

I don't know about the rest of you, but the officer holding the rifle REALLY needs to get a single point sling or something. The "holding with one hand pointing up into the air while talking on the radio while moving around method" was making ME nervous, just watching him do it.

It has to do with CHOICES. Note that I decided to not go with compromising my 2A in exchange for a room. When a student signs the agreement, he is not doing it under duress, and understands the contract. He can just walk away or not have a gun on that property.

You do realize that it is cheaper to live in campus provided housing than it is to live somewhere else right? Some students simply cannot afford to live anywhere else while attending a university. Btw, I bet you'd have your panties in a bunch if his lease had a clause saying that he could only live there if he was a Democrat.

Of course, and I lived off campus instead of letting my rights get compromised. However, cost of living is not a reason for making choices that you make on your own when it comes to contractual agreement. Furthermore, you can borrow more in college loans to cover the difference in the cost.
Btw, I bet you'd have your panties in a bunch if his lease had a clause saying that he could only live there if he was a Democrat.
Political party affiliation, while a choice, doesn't necessarilly equate with having a firearm.

It's cheaper, and there are consequences. You sign the contract, you live with the contract terms, for better or worse until a court decision states otherwise.
Since there are no leases in todays world that stipulate "Democrat only" housing, let's leave the strawman arguments at the door.

Ok guys. The laws regarding having a firearm on campus specifically state that it is not allowed unless you have written permission from the head honcho there. All else is moot. If he doesn't have that, he can't bring it on campus. Period. I don't care if he lives there, there is no legal way for him to have gotten it to his room. Whether or not he has a constitutional right to have it in is room or not is totally meaningless. Besides, what kind of moron would brandish (or verbally brandish) a gun in Irvine? The cops there emptied 3 magazines from their sidearms into a freakin cow for gods sakes. Just because it might have eventually made it on to the freeway. These guys normally make Mall Ninjas look sane and tame. This kid was totally stupid.

Problem is that he should have forced out the people changing the locks if they didn't present paperwork. I think his "threat" was justified as he was being intruded upon....but maybe not a firearm threat persay. He didn't acctually have a weapon.
The cops were being heavy handed, but not knowing how it was called into them, I can see why they were a bit jumpy. However, I would not have wanted a rifle pointed at me either. They also didn't have a warrant, but he was outside, so that doesn't matter. If they went inside without permission, then that is a lawsuit.
In the end, he spoke too much. Much more than was necessary, but I guess he was trying to prove a point.

Maybe they change locks after each semester because people move out? Especially during summer... I know that I didn't get the same room after summer break. Obviously, the guy was still living there, so maybe they were told to change all of them and somebody screwed up.

The school, being a government institution, is barred from making such demands by the constitution, as are all such government institutions.
If this was a PRIVATE entity that owned the property, you would be correct. But since it is UCI, which is a state funded institution, they cannot make such demands.
If it was a private college, such as Chapman University, then yes, the student would waive their rights.

I'm not so sure about that - they're both usually run by the same department of the university and have the same requirements (must be students, must sign the same contract, etc.). I think they're both legally the same thing.

Cool - thats kinda what I figured they might have to do.
I'm kind of confused as to why everybody is chastising the guy for "brandishing" or "verbally brandishing" a firearm. It was clearly stated in the video that the guy asked the 911 dispatch if he should go get a firearm. IMO that's like asking a police officer if you should go spray paint graffiti on a bridge. (assuming that having a firearm on a college campus is against the law)
I'm sure the dispatch told him not to get a firearm, and the police should have been called in to deal with a possible trespassing, not a MWAG call.

How do you figure they were heavy handed. They gave him specific instructions and then approached, checked him for weapons before clearing the apartment for additional suspects or victims. What was 'heavy handed' about that? They were actually very calm and polite to him.
However, I would not have wanted a rifle pointed at me either.
I watched that obviously staged video and when he kept saying "don't point that gun at me" it was pointed in the air.
They also didn't have a warrant, but he was outside, so that doesn't matter. If they went inside without permission, then that is a lawsuit.
Wrong, a warrant is not always required, there are exceptions to the requirement to get a warrant and a situation like this is one of those. They can enter the apartment to make sure there are no additional suspects that may be armed, or victims of a crime that might need assistance. Anything they see during that period that is in plain view is admissible. If they start looking in drawers and such, that exceeds the scope of the exception for a warrantless search.
In the end, he spoke too much. Much more than was necessary, but I guess he was trying to prove a point.
He just repeatedly showed his ignorance in my opinion
The cops seemed too heavy handed for dealing with a non-thuggy looking high pitched white guy screaming about the constitution.
Ya know, I was shot at once by a guy who looked a lot like that whiny, nerdy looking guy. If you know the secret to identifying a bad guy on sight, please share that info. It was a possible "man with a gun" call for crying out loud.
You can argue that gun bans on campus violate the 2A all you want, but until an appeals court rules it is unconstitutional, it is the law of the land.
The Bill of Rights and the Constitution have been analyzed and interpreted by various scholars and legal experts since it was ratified. It is a living document that changes based on judicial review.
There are, in reality, few 'absolutes' when dealing with the Constitution, and a lot of grey area subject to interpretation, especially when it comes to search & seizure. The 4th amendment has many exceptions to the warrantless search restriction.
Now, as far as the campus police's tactics, as a watch commander with 31 years of law enforcement experience, I have some issues with the way they did some things. Potential crossfire situations, un-necessasary exposure, etc.
I review arrests to make sure our people are within the law and everyone's (suspects included) rights and safety are protected.
This video was obviously staged so the individual could give a one sided view of the incident and his personal interpretation of the 2nd and 4th Amendments.
A little bit of knowledge can be dangerous.

Show me. He said open carry. You can't open carry a gun into the capitol. You can CCW (at least the law says you can), but you clearly can't open carry. I could be reading it wrong, but I don't think I am (it doesn't say anything about loaded vs. unloaded) Having a CCW doesn't change your ability to open carry:

It would be stupid to try (even w/ a CCW), but the way I read the code, the prohibition to a gun in a courthouse doesn't apply if you have a CCW (assuming you're not a party to an action.) However, in reality, I think you would be told to get lost if you tried it.

Dumb way of jeopardizing your education and career, if im not mistaken VDC is reserved for grad students in masters or PhD programs.
Buildings 402-406 are for grad and PhD students, everything from 616-64x are all undergrad.
He was in one of the 400s, which is really close to where my undergrad housing is in VDC.
One of my friends has him as his summer session professor, he teaches Math 4 (Linear Algebra/Multivar Calc for Economists) which I took over spring quarter with the regular prof. He talked about this in class on Monday apparently.

That guy is an example of what NOT to do. But was there REALLY a need for that cop to wield an AR15? Really? Maybe for intimidation factor? If there was a firefight going on, I could understand. But you can tell that the cop was really relaxed. I don't know but that seems a bit overboard to me. Maybe he just wanted to be taticool. Who knows.

I can't believe that this discussion got so drawn out. Lets simplify this: folks have been known to go nuts @ schools: Columbine, Virginia Tech to name the few. What does that mean? That means that if a PD gets a call saying: there is a kid threatening me with guns on campus (cause that's probably how the call from those individuals sounded like) they'll send the cavalry ASAP. Why AR15? Cause long gun is better for confronting threats. That "professor" was a moron and yes, the vid looks SO staged it's not even funny. I tip my hat to the PD for handling it the way they did (yeah they might have done couple things a little bit differently when it comes to tactics... but hindsight is.... ;) ) Oh yeah... seems shooters nowadays seem to wear body armor every so often... another reason to bring an AR (though I think I'd prefer an 870 with slugs ;) but there there might be even a bigger issue of overpenetration )
Oh yeah, forget the 2A and non 2A issues. This call had nothing to do with that. He threatened someone else with a gun. Granted he didn't wave it around but he asked if he needs to bring them to make reps of the dorms (?) housing (?) leave. I'm very curious why they were there.... maybe someoen didn't pay his rent? ;) In any case, one SHOULD NEVER bring a gun (or threaten to) to a civil dispute to get "his way".

Yeah, except 171b doesn't take into account a court order by the State Superior Courts that makes it a violation unless you have prior written permission from the Presiding Judge of the Court, making it a violation even for CCW holders, including retired peace officers.
As I've said before, look beyond the penal code 'weapons' laws before taking a course of action. There are a lot of different codes in California that you can run afoul of if you are not careful.
LA County courts have a zero tolerance policy. Bring a gun, go to jail. We've had a wide variety of people booked, including lawyers, witnesses, defendants, people trying to get restraining orders, traffic matters, you name it. Emotions run high at courthouses, so guns just don't mix well in those situations.

Why should the RP/victim of a crime be placed in custody when he calls for police assistance?
If he was the one who called to request police assistance about unauthorized persons in his apartment......then yes....they over-reacted in the way the treated the RP.
When a person calls the police to report being the victim of a possible crime they should not have to expect to be treated like a criminal when the police arrive.

Well officer according to the Heller decision I have an individual right to keep and bears arms in my home for self defense. And according to CA law I am presumed to have sufficient fear of imminent death or GBI if there is an unauthorized person in my home. Therefore I could have shot the man where he stood if I chose too.....but I chose a lesser means of force which was threatening to shoot said person if they didn't leave. So I would appreciate it if you'd stop treating me like a criminal and start treating me like a crime victim.
Nuff said?
Threatening to shoot an intruder in your home is not a crime nor should a person who does so be treated like a criminal when police arrive. I'm not saying they shouldn't be cautious, but they shouldn't be proning crime victims out one the ground either. Their were enough officers there to control that scene w/o going to that extreme.

There's a lot more to this story. The TA was actually illegally sub-renting his apartment. The housing office found out and called for the locksmiths to change the lock. They knocked, but were ignored.
The locksmiths make entry into the house then the TA starts trying to get them to leave. The TA says "what do I have to do to get you to leave, get a gun"? He then goes into the bedroom and gets a black duffel bag which has a tripod in it (so now it looks like the bag has a rifle.) The locksmiths beat feet and call the cops.
The locksmiths can make entry into the apartment at the request of the housing office, if anyone is wondering about that.
I'm sure the TA didn't tell his class that portion of the story.

The locksmiths make entry into the house then the TA starts trying to get them to leave. The TA says "what do I have to do to get you to leave, get a gun"? He then goes into the bedroom and gets a black duffel bag which has a tripod in it (so now it looks like the bag has a rifle.) The locksmiths beat feet and call the cops.
The locksmiths can make entry into the apartment at the request of the housing office, if anyone is wondering about that.

Why am I not suprised?

Isn't changing the locks on a tenant considered a self-help eviction and illegal in CA?

I believe it's more complicated then that but the bottom line is he created the situation and then told half the story......

The locksmiths made illegal entry, school should have served 3 day notice to quit, then gone through the eviction process where the sheriff gets involved.
If the school accepted money from the man, even $.01, he has a right to be there until he is evicted.
Did you forget? We live in CA where the renters have ALL the rights, even if they are trespassing illegally.
You cant just go into an apartment and change locks... well maybe if you have your own PD you can.. :rolleyes:

Makes me glad that I live off campus. My rights are not violated and I live in a quieter, cheaper, and more comfortable environment.

I've never been a fan of the laws of man trumping the laws of nature. Banning guns in a rental or a lease should not be legal IMHO.

Hey...don't shoot the messenger. I'm sure this wasn't Housing's first rodeo; no doubt illegally subleasing is something that will get you locked out/evicted immediately. It's likely in the housing rules and the agreement he signed.

Immediately still means 3 day notice. There is no circumstance (beyond domestic violence restraining order) where you can get someone immediately evicted.

Maybe they had given him three days notice, he seems to be somewhat economical with the truth.

Thank you - I knew that there had to be more to this story, and the locksmith on scene sure sounded like landlord action.

The tactics of the cop with the AR were horrendous. If that camera were a firearm wielded by an aggressor, that cop would have been toast.

Im not shooting the messenger you are spewing information that you know nothing about, I manage over 150 units on 10+ properties.
No 3 day notice and no EVICTION = NO CHANGE OF LOCKS.
And it "might" have been their first rodeo involving a TA staying in student housing.
IF SO, they might have jumped the gun and tried to sweep away the problem real quick.
If it was a legitimate EVICTION, which would have occurred after a 3 day notice AND after a eviction court hearing, the sheriff would have been PRESENT at the scene.
Since there was no sheriff when the locksmiths showed up, that leads me to believe that there was no eviction and the school jumped the gun.
I hope the guy takes them to court and wins, no matter how much of a douchebag the guy is.
Im sick of the state thinking they are higher than the average citizen, IF I have to serve 3 day notices, wait + or - 3 weeks for eviction process and spend $750 + (a possible $400) for an attorney to evict and do the paperwork, then so must the state.

How many of those units are on a UC campus? The tenants (students, TAs, whatever) agree to certain rules and conditions as part of the housing agreement.
Move along now...there's a clogged sink in apartment 104...

Doesn't matter if they are UC campus or not. Ca law is ca law and everybody must follow it.
Yes that means the gov must follow their own laws.
You can't kick a tenant off a property without following the process of eviction, even if there was something the contract. State law supercedes any mutual agreement.
PLUS the worst part of your argument is you are assuming there is some sort of sidd agreement, which isn't even valid since there are laws that protect tenants to prevent landlords from doing this.
The facts go as so....
Locksmiths trying to change locks.
No officer present - therefore no eviction served.
Guy says something about firearm.
Cops are called. (they wouldn't have been called if there was an officer present)
Based on the facts the UC is in the wrong for trying to change locks on a tenant without notice and can be facing a possible lawsuit.
It isn't the guys fault for being allowed into the apt illegally. It is the UCs fault for not doing their job correctly.

UCIPD has toys up the arse. They keep shotguns between the front seats and their ARs in the trunk of the Crown Vics and the back storage area of their Suburban. How do I know? They always forget them there when they leave their cars at the mechanic's shop, oops! I worked there for 1.5 years. Before that, I was a shuttle driver and was almost run off the road with a bus full of students while UCIPD responded Code 3 to the book store...for a kid stealing a backpack.
