Walking around campus, it is almost a guarantee that you will see at least one Avride delivery robot bringing food to students all over. While most students have grown accustomed to the robots driving around campus, it can be important to know the rights and laws around these vehicles. After an incident in Philadelphia, according to 6 ABC Philadelphia, a woman was arrested for refusing to move out of the way of a similar delivery robot. According to this source, “She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.” According to the woman, her actions were an act of protected speech. These events pose the question of laws around these robots and the pedestrians living in tandem with them. Is it possible for a student at Bowling Green State University to be arrested for an action like this on campus? Jon Luidhardt, Bowling Green State University Deputy Chief of Police, gave his insight on the topic, discussing what could happen in a situation like this on campus.

Where does friendship's need for advice become gossip about an unsuspecting person?
