Cambridge City Police Patrol Harvard Clubs

"HUPD does not have jurisdiction over any property-owning student organizations unaffiliated with the College, . . ." This is the reason for increased City police presence. Over the years "the two police departments have always had, and continue to have, a close working relationship." This relationship allowed HUPD to police areas over which they had no jurisdiction, e.g., making traffic stops within the city of Cambridge, and directing traffic in Cambridge and Boston. This is good news for ordinary citizens and Harvard uber-citizens too. Is the closing of the illegal-police- activity gap a result of US Senate Candidate and Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren's dedication to the rule of law? Will there be more spectacular surprises, e.g., reducing the illegal activities of Harvard Real Estate employees or as they now call themselves Harvard University Housing? Will the frequent illegal entries to residents' premises without permission end any time soon? Will unlawful and criminal harassment of undesirable tenants ever stop?
