The University of Kentucky -- Lexington (UKL) Police Department says it is reviewing the conduct of two of its officers after they appeared in a viral YouTube video threatening a student with expulsion while forcing their way into his dorm room on Saturday.
Official university policy, obtained by Campus Reform on Tuesday, states that police officers may not search a student's dorm room without permission.
The video, which passed 150,000 views on YouTube on Tuesday, is entitled "I hate cops," and seems to show a student setting up a video camera before berating two campus police officers while refusing them entry into his room.
The officers, who alleged alcohol had been dumped from the dorm room's window, demanded to search the premises for more alcohol but did not appear to possess a warrant.
Instead, one officer invoked "administrative rights" to enter the room and threatened the student with expulsion for declining to permit entry.
