[hero is a strong possibility that shoplifting in thr UM Bookstore will now . lit u bn {|a\ , m ,a,| ,,r ,, $"00 fine, or both
That was the reluctantly •reached decision of Judge James s Dunn, senior municipal court judgt o( I oral Gables
“It is very disturbing to me that students are arrested. not because of the possibility ol the fine. iail term or both, but ol a greater consequence in their future lives that they'll have their names registered as thieves with the Mil and other police agencies.“ Judge Dunn said
Me said w hen people go for ;ohs where thev have to be bonded, checks of the I HI "rap sheet" are made, meaningthev might not get the jobs
Investigation rev ea|s bonding is necessary not on Ivin civil service |obs, hut to become a Made Counts lifeguard
I lie judge s.ed some I ’M students come before his bench expecting to get off with paying a small fine lb-said others are ready to pay a large fine Hut he described the shock of both these types when they are sentenced to a jail term
The judge said he sympathizes with students, but the shoplifting problem had gotten “wav out of hand
"from this dav forward, students who are found guilty of shoplifting stand an excellent i hance of spending sometime behind bars," he said.
I'M Security Director David Wike said 1 M's student shoplifters are treated much better than regular citizens
"F.ven if a student visiting frym a neighborhood school is caught shoplifting, he ot she is treated like any other citizen — he is arrested, taken to the Dade County jail facility, booked, mugged, fingerprinted and jailed until released on bond "
If is only UM students who gel the special treat ment, who have up to now been issued warrants and city citations to appear in court, rather than he jailed, Wike said
I he judge said he is considering dropping the stu dents' special adv antages
“Being the court's senior judge, what I say will become a set policy, regardless of who hears the vases." he said
Under both the new and old svsfems, once the warrant is issued, failure to report for the scheduled hearing results in the issuance of a bench vv arrant
"Once a bench warrant is out, the defendant will he arrested wherever he ot she is in the state and brought before the Cora I Gables court." Wike said
Aubin Hill, undergraduate Student Bodv Govern ment president, said he wouldn't find strict law s objectionable
"I feel students should take total legal responsihili-iv lor shoplifting .1 cannot on one hand argue that students should sit with the highest decision-making bodies of the University, and then sav thev should not he held responsible for their own actions." I till said
Judge Dunn said, "If thev want to ruin their records for the rest of their lives, then it is their problem, and Hiisis what they'll get "
