Joshua A. Gerstein ’91-’92, a former Crimson crime reporter, helped legislators revise a state law to include university police forces among the organizations that must file daily police logs.
“I don’t think students should be entitled to any more or any less privacy than anyone else,” Gerstein said. “Let’s extend the rules. If HUPD has police powers and can walk around with guns on hips and can arrest people, they ought to be under same safeguards that all other police are subject to.”
