We need a “Trash a Car For Campus Safety” day here at Sac State. Everytime one of these irresponsible children drive like the world owes them something and they damage property or injure someone else, trash their car!

Ya know, some of the kids going to this school drive like a$$holes who just got their first real car and need to be taught the hard way.
Everytime you see some irresponsible arrogant teen cut off a cyclist or pedestrian, or hit someone and leave, break something off of their car and leave a message as to why.
The police are useless unless they are harassing brown people around the city and the admin of sac State is weak.

We definitely need cameras in the structures. There are so many accidents and so many bad drivers on campus! They also cut corners so quickly without checking for cars or passerbys. Take the bus please, if you cannot park correctly. For the well being of everyone else!

Definitely frustrating! I’ve had this happen to me as well. Whoever did had to know. I get it, accidents happen, but at least be courteous and leave a note or something. More of the frustration comes from campus police… maybe you guys can do a story on them. Not to slander them, but what is their actual job if they’re not “fighting crime” when I went to them about my hit and run the station seemed 1. Deserted and 2. Like they didn’t care. I had many questions for them… where’s the security cameras and why don’t they patrol. All I got was, not all lots were structured to have cameras and they were supposedly understaffed. WELL FIX THE ISSUE. patrol. Not just the lots, let’s feel their presence on campus too… walking around. Who knows, maybe that would minimize the amount of crimes happening on campus.
