Topic: University will find drugs in my room

Anonymous A started this discussion 6 years ago #98,114

I am a student at a university in Washington, DC. Due to the pandemic, students were notified that classes would be moving online until April 2nd, a few days before spring break. During spring break, students were notified that all on-campus activities, including housing and boarding, would be terminated for the remainder of the semester and that students would not be allowed to re-enter their dorms.

The university and a third-party moving company intend to enter my dorm, gather my belongings, and store them until fall semester.

In spite of the already clear violation of my privacy, the university is now asking students to report any prohibited items. I have a dab pen, empty bottle of alcohol, Vyvanse, and fake IDs in a locked drawer. It is not in a container, so the persons collecting my possessions would see it. I am not sure whether I should report and what the legal implications could be if I report/don’t report. I could use any advice.

tl;dr: My university kicked me out without letting me gather all my stuff. Now they intend to pack it and store it themselves and will undoubtably find banned items. Not sure if I should self-report or not.

Dont do the crime if you cant do the time.
Looks like someone is going to wind up on double secret probation.

Nah I dont think they'll force open a locked drawer but if they did the Campus police would be making jokes about it, calling you a lightweight.

I wouldn’t report it. You haven’t lived there in months. They most likely are just going to dispose of any contraband.

You should immediately report to the campus police station.

Yes this. Go to the cops and explain the situation. They'll look out for you.
