Please!  I can't be the only person who thinks that this was just a bad
cop who took advantage of the student and stole himself a keg of beer.
We had one who told college girls that displaying their bare breasts was
part of a sobriety test.  Surely cops in Ohio are not allowed to
"confiscate" property without providing a receipt or other
documentation. Liz
