Yrfling Back Again To Provide Recommendations on How to Avoid Fling-related Legal Trouble

Welcome back Flingers,

For those of you who are Freshmen or lived under a rock last year and haven’t heard of us, we exist to inform you of your rights and how to avoid becoming entangled in legal trouble during Fling festivities. The BLCE (Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement) has teamed up with Penn yet again to “keep the event safe” (read: confront anyone who’s visibly intoxicated, causing a nuisance, or openly carrying liquor); however, this blog intends to guide you to make smart decisions in order to avoid confrontation with officers and properly deal with them if all else fails.

We will be consulting with legal professionals and educators to provide you with the most accurate recommendations possible. Please note that we are not lawyers, nor are we providing you with legal counsel. We are just fellow Flingers offering the best possible advice to help everyone enjoy the experience. It’s important to point out that the law is not black and white; interpretation of the law is key and that is what will be provided.

So far we expect this year to have just as much uniformed officer presence as the last, so we encourage you all to look through last year’s posts to gain some initial guidance. Please email us with any questions that haven’t already been answered at yrfling1@gmail.com.


Cheers,

ME & BW
