โ€œThe underlying problem here is that the RCMP is presuming that a person who is engaged in environmental activism, necessarily, is a higher risk for engaging in criminal behaviour โ€” that somehow, that you're voicing dissent, that you pose a risk of criminality,โ€ Jack said, โ€œand that that gives the police the authority to be investigating you, following you, collecting information about you.โ€

I understand why you felt violated and I'm sorry that happened to you. I think it's odd you seem to attribute none of the violation to campus security. You describe them as passively compelled to follow up on a complaint about a student's (I'm presuming reasonable) on-campus behaviour by going into the student newspaper office they worked in and reading their work. But they chose to do that. They could have handled things differently, such as talk to you versus snoop like they did or dismiss you as a non-threat
