There is a huge problem in my eyes with the police force here at Clemson. I feel that there are way too many of them and they are too strict in general. Now don’t get me wrong I know they are keeping the peace but they need to tone down their ticket happy mentality. Last semester I was driving 44 mph in a 40 and I was pulled over. Like are you kidding me?, I thought he was joking when walked up to me. He then proceeded to lecture me for over ten minutes on the importance of driving safe. On another occasion I was pulled over one night while I was pledge driving. When the cop approached me, he instantly had an attitude and was convinced that I had been drinking. I told him that I was sober driving and I haven't had a sip of alcohol that night. He didn’t believe me and decided that I needed to perform a sobriety test. It was late I was clearly tired and this really ticked me off. The Clemson police also have been doing random dorm room checks lately. This has become very annoying as they knock on your doors and check up on you. It feels like they are trying to get you anyway that they can.
