Abstract

This Note argues that a variety of "private police" forces, such as university patrols and residential security guards, should. be held to the constitutional limitations found in the Bill of Rights. These private police act as arms of the state by supplying force in response to a public demand for order and security. The state, as sovereign, retains responsibility to allocate force, in the form of either public or private police, in response to public demand. This state responsibility-a facet of its police power-is evidenced throughout English and American history. When this force responds to a public demand for order and security, existing state action doctrine case law places both public and private force tinder constitutional scrutiny.

Constitutional Limits on Private Policing and the State’s Allocation of Force

Despite growing "ho hum" attitudes among certain quarters dismissing the U.S. constitution as outdated, flawed, irrelevant, etc., at the end of the day, the constitution, as a contract, is all we got to hold "power" accountable. But thanks to poor "self government" it's fast becoming a sick joke.
