A judge issued stay-away orders Monday against four Occupy Cal protesters who were involved in the Nov. 9 demonstrations, barring them from setting foot on UC Berkeley property.

At an arraignment Monday morning, a judge ordered that Shane Boyle, Jasper Bernes, Juan Davalos and Erick Uribe not be allowed within 100 yards of any UC Berkeley property except for when attending class or other employments, according to Deputy District Attorney Teresa Drenick.

The Nov. 9 protests became contentious when demonstrators tried to set up tent encampments on Upper Sproul despite warnings from campus administration, leading police to use batons against the demonstrators to gain access to the tents and dismantle them.

The protesters arraigned Monday at Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse in Oakland — all of whom pled not guilty to the charges against them — are four of 13 who are being charged in relation to the Nov. 9 protests on campus. UC Berkeley associate professor of English Celeste Langan, the only faculty member charged, was arraigned Friday and was not issued a stay-away order.

Drenick said she could not say when the stay-away orders will expire but said that it would be determined during the ongoing litigation. The orders go into effect immediately.

Around 1 p.m. Monday, a handful of demonstrators blocked Sather Gate on the UC Berkeley campus to protest the charges and the stay-away orders.

After the arraignment, the defense said they were especially surprised by the order because UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau granted amnesty from the campus disciplinary process to those blocking police on Nov. 9.

Outside the courtroom, Boyle, a UC Berkeley graduate student, called on UC administrators to denounce the charges and the stay-away order immediately.

After hundreds of UC Berkeley faculty members signed a petition asking Birgeneau to request that the Alameda County District Attorney drop the charges against the protesters, Birgeneau and Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost George Breslauer sent the district attorney a copy of the faculty petition but did not take a position on the matter.

The letter urged the district attorney to be “sensitive to the strong feelings (the criminal charges) have raised on campus.”

Bernes, also a campus graduate student, said the stay-away order was a “backhanded way of punishing protesters.” He added that the order “doesn’t allow people to express their rights” because it limits access to places that future demonstrations might occur.

BAMN lawyer Ronald Cruz said the order aims to “attack free speech and student efforts to defend public education.”

The defense plans to contest the stay-away order at the next hearing but will abide by it for now, according to Boyle.

The remaining eight protesters will be arraigned Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

“I live in a UC co-op that is on university property,” said Ricardo Gomez, who has also been charged and will be arraigned Wednesday. “Would I have to be evicted because I can’t stay on university property? It just doesn’t make sense to me.”

    People act like they are the only police in the area.. protip, they arent. BPD actually covers (and would cover) most student areas and they would get paid properly to do it, as well as be able to hire and (properly) train new officers who are beholden to the law, not the UC Regents. PLUS the school wouldnt need to waste money buying “command control centers” (2), off road golf carts (with spray cannons on them), and new patrol cars every couple years on OUR DIME. 

    You act like this is a police force to protect students, but HELLO THEY CANT EVEN DEAL WITH REPEAT CRIMES. They cant stop “fingerbangers”, they dont prevent murders but rather clean up after them. 

    THEY DONT EVEN STOP THE HUMONGOUS ILLEGAL DRUG TRADES THAT FLOW BETWEEN SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES AND STUDENTS (many that have their own “house dealers” or “house growers” or “house chemists”).
    Their baton training consists of football training gear and mindlessly swinging batons in the air while someone yells at them and they plant their feet on the ground.
    They dont have real riot police, or protest training (well now a little bit of protest training since 2 years ago). 
    They copy reports, commit fraud, and their administrative officers and senior level officers make a KILLING, as well as have GIANT PENSIONS, that SUCK MONEY. Did you know, if you joined UCPD, you would have your salary raised to that of a tenured professor in less than 5 years? Ask Quincy Ruffin whose salary went from 39K to over 100K in 5 years. Maybe Tim Zuniga who went from 65K to over 122K in 6 years? Damn, who doesn’t like to get their salary doubled (or tripled) every half a decade! 
    OH YEAH and during that time they we’re lampooned in the national news media (by Stephen Colbert of all people), called out multiple times by the ACLU, and have been denounced by their own chancellor, the UC President and people from around the world..

    If you could name ANY WAY ucpd is superior to having a REAL LOCALLY (aka by local government, not the local managerial board, the UC Regents) RUN POLICE DEPARTMENT, I’m all ears but history says otherwise. 

    THEY ARE THE POLICE FORCE OF THE REGENTS, NOT THE STUDENTS, NOT CITIZENS OF CA, BUT THE UC REGENTS.

      Going after frat and sororities for smoking weed would be a waste of time. Are you trying to tell me that Occupy members don’t also smoke grass? What a laugh!

      W/O the UC police, thugs from Peoples Park, Telegraph Ave., and Richmond/Oakland would make the campus so unsafe that nobody would set foot on it at night. 

      “Police force of the regents!” You are fucking nuts and can’t get beyond the idiocies of Occupy ideology.

      ‘Course, the Oakland police force is also maligned by your pals after Occupy smashed the windows of small shops owned by relatively poor residents and for many days destroyed the business climate requisite for them to survive. Hence most reasonable residents of Oakland are pleased that their police did their job. 

      As for Occupy, nationwide they are now known not for demanding an end to the economic disparities of the US but rather for their violence and anti-Israel stance (Occupy Oakland voted 135-1 for BDS vs Israel–so much for their staying on message). Now when you say “Occupy” to most people in the US, they roll their eyes and think of violence-prone simpletons with the sort of rhetoric laughably expressed by the likes of “RealPolicingOnCampus.”

      • RealPolicingOnCampus says:

        It would be relevant if you could make a point as to why UCPD has to do BPD’s job, especially when they do it so terribly.  In fact my arguments have nothing to do with Occupy and everything to do with the school NOT OAKLAND. But I know you have no recourse besides linking everyone who disagrees with you to Occupy but I am not discussing Occupy. I am discussing the history of UCPD, the real “crime” (as the LAW STATES IT) that happens undeterred by UCPD and the inefficient waste the department is, not only to the school but to the city of Berkeley and county of Alameda. All these ridiculous cases against protestors have sucked the system and are diverting the real business of the courthouses, BPD jail cells, and other local police departments because we have an ineffectual and wasteful group of officers here on campus.  NOT TO MENTION THE LITERAL COPYING OF REPORTS, FORGING OF REPORTS, BREAKING THE CONSTITUTION (see the many ACLU accusations) AND LYING ABOUT ADHERING TO THE BEHAVIORAL CODE OF THE POLICE FORCE ITSELF.

        They are beholden to the Regents and the people the Regents designate to carry out their polices. They are a management board, and that is what managers do: distribute work, tell them how to do it and give them consequences if they don’t. And if you think the Occupy kids are running huge drug rings, and selling thousands of dollars worth of drugs to other occupiers you are flat out wrong. And obviously you know nothing of the drug culture of co-ops, frats and sororities here on campus and around campus. I have personally met with “house dealers” on frat row, and have talked with girls in CERTAIN sororities (kappa related) about the cocaine habits of certain sorority houses on Piedmont. But as I said this isn’t about Occupy, its about the failure, inability and WASTE that UCPD is for this campus. It’s not about smoking weed (which is decriminalized if you had been keeping up with the law) bu the selling, production and distributing that happen.  You may or may not know that Sigma Phi was the HEADQUARTERS for ACID PRODUCTION during the 60s and 70s in the north of california. This tradition of UCB frats, sororities and chem/science kids creating/growing and selling drugs hasnt changed! Just what houses it happens in and what supplies are used. I mean hell look at the co-ops! They are really the bearers of this tradition and recent cases from Cloyne has proven it!You offer no reasons why UCPD is better than BPD. That was my first argument if you had read the post. THUGS in areas that would be newly policed by BPD wouldn’t be a problem, unless you are alleging that they are worse than UCPD (which you dont). In fact these THUGS you mention probably wouldnt be fingerbanging people for months on end without being caught if we had one consistent police force around the campus, on the campus, and around the city of Berkeley. 

        So besides crying about how I support occupy will you actually address any of my points and refute them? Doubt it. OH and if you can explain why (despite overtime, which is handed out ridiculously liberally at UCPD) their salaries should increase as their quality of work decreases and the amount of military supplies at their disposal and technology at their disposal (making them more useless and creating less demand for physical officers) increases..Why do UCPD have a armored golf cart that has a spray cannon on it when we cant even afford to have the trash from Sproul cleaned up? Maybe we should make the police clean it up, I mean they only exist to make the campus better and safer, which they don’t do better or more efficiently than any other local city police department. They don’t do SHIT most of the time anyway besides standing around chatting. I mean they don’t put the time in to write their own, original reports…

          Not to mention this: http://www.dailycal.org/2012/03/20/uc-may-have-violated-state-public-records-act-experts-say/ 

          Surprising, the culture of secrecy in the face of public humiliation (because of intentional violating of procedural and legal standards) extends to both of the organizations mentioned: UC Regents and UCPD.

        • reztips says:

          I have no problem with students taking drugs, nor do I have any difficulty with UCB police focusing upon more important matters. In a city where crime is rampant, the campus has less of it thanks to the fine efforts of the UCPD. 

          Otherwise, I don’t take your arguments any more seriously than do most students. The reality is that a majority of students on the campus, like the vast majority of American citizens, see Occupy as a group of activists who started out with a good idea and allowed it to be reduced to violence,  property destruction, and hatred oriented toward Israel. 

          For awhile, Occupy seemed reduced to its pathetic demands to camp in public places. How absurd–activism over the right to camp and the attempt to confuse pitching a tent on public grounds with freedom of expression.

          Realpolicing, are you so dense that you can’t see that precious few people give a fuck about Occupy other than they would like to see its offenders prosecuted? What sheer unadulterated egotism!  But then again, that’s what happens when ideology takes over a once well-meaning movement…

    “Disband UCPD” <– Probably the MOST disturbing and outrageous idea I've seen/heard so far in my journeys in UC Berkeley. Sure we all have the right of free speech and we can shout out any of our ideas to the public from the First Amendment yadda yadda yadda… But I'm suspicious if the student(s) even thought over the consequences of disbanding the UCPD or if he's/they're just being childish and immature.

    My feelings in two words: Utter dismay.

      • dlee says:

        First of all, BPD does NOT, I repeat, does NOT have the time and decency to actually care for the welfare of petty students like you.
        If we had BPD dealing with, say, the Occupy protest on November last year, students would not have gotten out of the situation as easily as they did.
        The main purpose of the installation of the UCPD SEPARATE from the BPD is to ensure a higher quality protection for the students of the university.

        Also, in case you’re still stuck in the fantasy of an ideal police force preventing every crime that could possibly occur, WAKE UP!
        Let’s see you try to PREDICT EVERY CRIME AND DEATH THAT MAY OR MAY NOT OCCUR. Police aren’t superhuman. They can’t be everywhere, everytime, especially when a fair portion of their forces have been allocated to deal with the immature student protesters whining about a few “Boo-Woo’s” simply because they have failed to understand what is meant to protest PROPERLY in the name of OCCUPY. 

        Why don’t you show me any statistics of student/campus-related-crimes that have arose due to UCPD’s inability to respond properly?

        Taking from your last two paragraphs, it seems you’re asking for an establishment of a NEW POLICE FORCE run by the students/citizens of CA. Do you think this force will not eat up the SAME goddamn money from your worthless dime? Training gear? Equipment? Salary? Also, are you really complaining about somebody who receives 6 figures after a commitment of nearly a decade on protecting the lives of those that aren’t even directly relevant to his? 

        Here’s an interesting scenario you can chew on.

        The state of California, being already the pathetically bankrupt state it is now, decides to install a new police force in place of the UCPD in the campus of UC Berkeley with its own funds, since it is NOT ALLOWED to use a single dime from the citizens’ tax. Now let’s jump 6~7 years to the future and see what has become of the University of California, if it hasn’t declared bankruptcy and disappeared already. The workers of this new police force are paid 30k to at most 60k because being paid more than that seems too ridiculous for the students. New equipments/gears/training are too mainstream, so every police patrols around the campus on a bicycle that’s 10 years old. Pepper sprays are replaced with water sprays and batons have been replaced with plastic/cotton bats to ensure the “SAFETY” of the students who decide to protest once in a while.
        Now a homeless person overdosed in Marijuana thinks it will be funny to walk into the campus of UC Berkeley, armed, and scare the students at gunpoint/knifepoint. Hearing of this, the new police immediately sends its force. This force arrives late enough to find out that a few students have already been injured, and the happy-suspect is enjoying his daily entertainment. The police force tries to stop the suspect. Now what on earth could they do?
        Beat the suspect with the soft bats? Spray him with a pepper, no, water spray? Try to take on the armed suspect through direct confrontation? Oh, did I mention that these police officers have had close to minimal training, being just a regular citizen/student of Berkeley when not on duty? 
        Now, The suspect has been somehow subdued, but there still lies a number of students injured and also an officer severely wounded from the confrontation. Happy? No! Obviously, the students were unhappy with what happened, and start protesting that the police did not care for the students who were injured, and that this new police force should now be disbanded. AGAIN. 

        Learn to appreciate what we’re already granted. The UCPD is something that we should regard as not only a privilege, but also (and moreso) a force to be thankful of. Unless you can and have the guts to do their work in place of them, don’t yell complete absurdities such as “Disband UCPD”. 

        • Guest says:

          BPD would get extra funding that we WASTE on UCPD to hire more officers, and increase their infrastructure (that operates citywide where students from the university live, cause you know we dont just live within 1 mile of the school) to better serve the community and not be privy to the ridiculous exceptions and control of the Regents that UCPD have. Where you got creating another police force i dont know, sounds like you disagree with the overarching points of the last dude but dont have any solution or facts. BPD has expressed continual dismay over its operations with UCPD cause they are a poor police force, are poorly trained and act more like babysitters of drunks not to mention like wackos in situations they dont understand (such as why student would be angry that police drive their motorcycles through Sproul when it obviously dangerous to do so and there is no immediate threat they are countering. I’ve been in this situation with officer Q. Ruffin multiple times. Each time he gets angry at peaceful, soft spoken students, calls them rude names and then rides away.)

    • Guest says:

      Nobody gets banned just for speaking out and you know it, jackass.  We all know that.  It’s when you start getting physically disruptive that law enforcement, whose use of force is only legitimized by the CONSENTING MASSES (of which I am a part), puts the much needed smack hand down.  Trouble is, your ilk doesn’t understand you can’t do whatever you want under the banner of “Freedom of Expression”.  

      • 13Odyssey7 says:

        Hmm…we as a society need to think about what we consider “getting physically disruptive” with law enforcement. I don’t know, but my guess is that  you, as one person, are not in a position to speak for the consenting masses. I don’t see the masses rallying on Sproul for the police to put the beat down on dissenting students. Where are these masses you speak of? Society might inadvertently legitimize such behavior, but my opinion is that we also need to discuss the cops propensity to reacting violently to dissenting voices. In other words, if I get your drift, you seem to be saying that individuals need to get in line with the mass mentality because their actions are considered violent to the group. What happened to thinking for yourself? Then, we can discuss what I see as the multi-faceted suppression of freedom of speech through violence, etc.

          I don’t have to speak for the masses: they speak for themselves.  Do you see general outrage about how UCPD handled Nov. 9th?  You really don’t.  And when this goes to court, victory will go to UC.  Know why?  No one supports the rioters.  The masses want UCPD to control the activist brats, which is why they got their asses handed to them on Nov. 9th and will KEEP getting their asses handed to them.   You don’t have THE PEOPLE on your side.  Can’t you see that? 

          • 13Odyssey7 says:

            Guest and Stan De San Diego,

            I agree with both of you. I don’t support rioters either. Violence is not the solution.

            Now, I do recall seeing a lot of students out there on Nov 9th. The question is whether a handful of these are being singled out, as those in interviewed in the article suggest, for political reasons or because they in fact are guilty of obstructing police, etc. This gets to a deeper question which is what are considered legal or illegal acts of violence, i.e., who interprets the law. On one hand we have the chancellor who says “linking arms” is “not non-violent civil disobedience,” hence the students should be okay with this: 
            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reeTNzq39Ls

            On the other hand we have Stephen Colbert :)

            http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/402024/november-10-2011/occupy-u-c–berkeley

            Maybe the national media, AP, describing the UCPD as “nudging” the students  is right? I would say the mainstream media’s representation of events would definitely help to deter some people from, you know, exercising their Constitutional rights. I would say most students didn’t decide to attend this university because they were looking to get beat up by the cops, or be prosecuted for organizing mass protests, which I think, those in interviewed in the article suggest. It’s not so much that there is a law and some people are breaking it; it’s about how those laws are being interpreted that is the question this article seems to raise. In other words, are they in fact being persecuted for what they believe. 

            This nation, like others, has a history of suppressing dissenting voices until, of course, there comes that eventful moment of critical mass when the numbers are on our side. These events show that we are nearing the tipping point when the old ways will be laid to the side in favor of new and different voices that will…actually, I think we’ve already reached it. Change is here. It’s just not as visible as people speaking out in public. 

             

          • Guest says:

            nope, we’re nowhere near the revolution you’re hoping for.  Sorry, but you’ll have to find something else to be excited about.   And if you think we have a history of stifling dissent in this country, try Iran, or China, or North Korea, or Saudi Arabia, or Russia as a basis of comparison.

          Keep peddling your bullshit, but it’s clear most of the students know better, which is why they aren’t out supporting you. The fact of the matter is that NOBODY is being prosecuted for speaking out or dissenting. However, a small handful of childish protesters is being charged with criminal acts for their particular BEHAVIOR, not for what they say or believe.

In fact, one pervert of a professor was busted for loitering around the men’s room looking for “casual encounters” as one would say in Craigslist lingo.  Just because you’re affiliated with Berkeley doesn’t give you a pass to break the law. The punishment is perfectly fair and reasonable: stay off the Cal campus unless you have official business there.

             People with half a brain don’t engage in fights with law enforcement personnel in their own place of work. Maybe some of these professors aren’t exactly the best and brightest.
