Delaware State University to file a complaint with DOJ after bus search incident

[Jilly_in_VA]

Delaware State University, a historically Black institution in Dover, Del., announced it will file a formal complaint with the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division following the stop and search of a bus carrying members of the university's women's lacrosse team last month in Georgia.

The school says the stop and search conducted by the Liberty County, Ga., deputies was "constitutionally dubious."

"From our standpoint, the evidence is clear and compelling," said Tony Allen, president of Delaware State University, in a statement obtained by NPR.

Allen says once the complaint is officially filed, it will be made available to the campus community to read.

"I do not intend to debate the merits of our complaint in the public square," he said.

1. Good move

2. It was the stop that was constitutionally dubious.

I wonder what made the troopers stop that particular bus. Need to check the troopers "signs" of possible drug smuggling.
