Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Wednesday, 01/07/15 and Thursday, 01/08/15. ****Administrative Messages**** If you did not get a hands free communication device for your car in 2014, look into getting one this year. Such a device will not only make you a safer driver, it will also help keep you from getting a citation from the Austin Police Department’s Finest. On the first of January, a new city ordinance took effect which prohibits the use of hand-held electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle or a bicycle. Any phone conversation you have while operating a car or bicycle must be hands free and absolutely no texting. Don’t dedicate yourself to hands free no texting habits because of a law – do it to be a safer driver. 2400 Nueces Theft: A UT Faculty Member reported the theft of a UT issued iPad that the Faculty Member left on the floor of a restaurant located in the 2400 block of Nueces.
