I'm well aware of the Eugene culture Gary.   

Eugene police are already seriously understaffed, the Sheriff's department is worse.

I may be misinterpreting just what is being suggested.  But if I want an effective 'justice' system for my visiting college students, I would want to have the patrol, the arrest, the court and punishment be the same system.     There is no way local police/courts can do this without great cost, let alone the level of resistance most colleges would give to making their campus a police state.   

Another resistance would be parents.  Even at Central College in tiny Pella, we had parents providing quick bail and lawyering up to protect their babies that re just being 'college kids'.   (most offenses were public drinking off campus and property destruction by stupid drunk students)

This may come down to off campus, versus on campus offenses?
