Speaking of
On what basis does the Bloomington PD request a letter from the IUPD? What do they want it to say? This particular question isn't even about how they get off requesting it, because I know it BS and justification doesn't really matter (they'll make it up). I just want to know what it is they think they are accomplishing. What is your letter supposed to say or prove?
The next question is, how do they determine who needs a letter from IUPD? You don't live on campus, you are merely another student. Does being a student mean something different to IUPD? Further, how do they know you are a student. There are people your age who live here and work but dont attend IU.
This is infuriating. I remember being super pissed when you talk about it the first time, and its happening again. For a city centered around "higher education" there sure are a lot of folks who can't separate their heads from their :moon:
Any IU student requesting a permit from BPD must get the letter. Not sure how much it's enforced though. BPD asks if you're a student, and if you say no, I'm not sure if they'd call IU to check of what, or turn you down unlawfully for that
. I was told what to do, and did it. Not knowing any better at the time, I did as asked and got the letter (which was simply 3 lines long stating that "the Chief recommends that this person be approved for their license" or some BS like that) and never thought about it twice at the time. At least this wasn't a huge delay (1 day to get the IU letter) for getting my app out, Carmel's seems like a bitch having to wait for appointment times.
