Donald Strole, local attorney, will submit today a motion to suppress all evidence and statements made by a KU student during questioning by Lawrence police at a local bar.
Attorney questions arrest Case raises concerns about the extent of police power
Chad Thoreau, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, was confronted and detained by police Oct. 12 atwlH Hot Shots, 301 South Broadway, Kansas City, Mo.
The police officer took Thorne's beverage and requested that Thorne produce identification. Thorne produced a Missouri driver's license with the date of his birth, Aug. 12, 1988. The license had a photograph of him.
The officer continued talking with Thorne for about 10 minutes, according to the motion. Then another officer joined the reporting officer, and they asked Thorne to go outside for further questioning.
Thorne was taken to the alley next to the bar, where he continued to deny that he was underage. One officer went to check the validity of the driver's license, and another officer said it sure was everything was OK." according to the motion
After about five minutes, one officer told Thorne that if he did not start telling the truth he would be arrested and taken downstreet for questioning, according to the motion. Thorne said he did not know what to tell them.
Thorne produced a voter registration card and another identification card, which had a picture. Both contained

But after a few more minutes he admitted that he was 18 and that the name on the license was his brother's, according to the motion. The officer then read Thorne his Miranda rights and cited him for interfering with the duties of a police officer and possessing a cereal malt beverage.
The officer said that Thorne did not look 22 years old and asked for more identification, according to the man.
About 75 Hispanic-American high school students from Missouri and Kansas visited KU on Friday as part of a program to increase minor enrollment at KU.
Legal research must be done on both sides, Porter said. First there must be a hearing of facts.
Tom Porter, city prosecutor, filed a complaint Feb. 26 that stated that Thorne committed two violations of the Code of the City of Lawrence by being a minor in school attendance and for giving false information to a police officer.
Another issue is whether police were entitled to continue to question and detain Thorne for about 25 minutes after he had presented the officer with what he deemed to be a valid Missouri driver's license. Strole said
Porter said that he had not had time to respond to Strohe's motion.

Hispanic high school students visit KU and learn about life on the hill
By Lara Gold
"He is raising fundamental constitutional questions that need research," Porter said.
"What happened here is outrageous." Strole said. "The issue here is, 'Can police exert their power 'til the point where citizens rights are violated?' "'
Strole contends in the motion that the defendant was not informed of the cautionary Miranda rights before he was questioned by the police, who were seeking incriminatory statements and evidence.
At the time of the questioning and seizure of evidence the police did not have probable cause or reasonable suspicion that the defendant had committed, was committing or was about to commit a crime. Strobe said.
Even if the officers had reasonable suspicion, they had no right to seize anything as evidence, Strobe said.
The case went to the state court of appeals where it was overturned.
The court decided that looking young was a contributing factor but that other factors were needed for the police to have probable cause, Stroile said. But that case did not infringe by the court. Therefore, a precedent was never set.
"I know there is this feeling that Hispanic students do not go to college," said Louie Lopez, president of Hispanic American Leadership Organization. "The pro-immigration movement should see a four-year university and ask questions about it."
KU faculty and administrators answered questions about housing, how to apply for financial aid and other information.
HALO members performed skits about how high school guidance counselors often stereotype Hispanic students.
"We wanted to encourage students to go to their guidance counselors and find out about college." Lopez said. "It is a self-fulfilling prophecy among Hispanic teachers that I am not expected to go to college, so I won't."
HALO members also answered questions about residence hall life life, parties, leaving home for the first time, how to join a fraternity or a sorority and how to tutoring on campus.
Marcy Acosta, a senior from Park Hill High School, Park Hill. Mo., said the program helped alleviate her fears about going to college.
There's something for everyone!!
-School, Art & Engineering Supplies
- Huge supply of gifts and garments
- Collection of used textbooks
"The program told me what college life was like," she said.
"I always think that I am going to flunk out at college," she said. "These kids are just like me, and they are doing fine."
Lasa Gonzalez, North Kansas City High School senior. Kansas City, Mo., is deciding among KU and other colleges.
Sylvia Suarez, assistant director of the Office of Minority Affairs, said the program was a friendly way to recruit Hispanic-American students.
