Do Officials Have The Right To Go Through Student's Phones Without Permission?

Police being able to search your phone without is warrant is a violation of privacy and the fourth amendment. This is an ongoing issue that is currently in the Supreme Court and state courts, which have split opinions on the issue. The courts are having a lot of trouble grasping what to compare a cell phone to as far as searching it. A big case that they are comparing searching cell phones to is over 40 years old and it involves a police officer searching through a cigarette box and finding drugs. A judge in the 9th circuit against warrantless search debunked the cigarette box comparison by saying phones are more like a suitcase, except the suitcase contains everything that you have ever traveled with in your entire life,

As kids gets older, their need of wanting their privacy gets bigger. Parents always want to know whats going on in their childs life, whether it’s a boyfriend, girlfriend, a bully. Parents will do anything to find out whats going on, which leads to snooping. As soon as parents get caught, of course their child gets mad. But is it any different if your school invades your privacy? Schools should not put tracking devices in student ID cards due to invasion of the students privacy and someone could also hack the tracking devices and can possibly do harm to the student.

Students have rights just like everyone else, even if they are in a school environment. It can be humiliating and dangerous to a student's well-being to have their property searched and violated. Some students are even willing to sue if they feel they were unjustly searched. Dear faculty of high schools across America I implore you to think before you decide to search through and violate a student's cell phone; I believe that this practice is harming students.

Should school officials and police officers be allowed to search through students phones? School officials and police officers should be allowed to search students phones. School officials and police officers need to be able to check students phones, so they can keep everyone safe. Some people think that school officials shouldn’t be able to search students phones, instead it should be the parents problem.

Are you always on your phone? Either Snapchatting, on Instagram, scrolling through your twitter feed? It can be pretty temping to pick up your phone and do this stuff in class but you can use them in good ways in school. George Washington Middle School currently has cell phones banned in class. Although most teachers think that cell phones are a distraction, cell phones should be allowed in class because students feel anxious without their phones, there are many educational uses, and allowing phones is more convenient.

The fourth amendment of the United States talks about the rights of people and how they can secure their personal items unless they need to be searches by the police. The only time the police or someone in the federal investigation business can search your house is if they have a search warrant and a good cause to search your house. The reason they would need a good reason is because they have to go to the court to get one, so if they say that they need a search warrant because someone stole a candy bar from the store they probably won't get it. But everything's the same with your phone. Unless it is on school grounds.

In school systems today safety is the top priority that they spend most of their time enforcing rules for this specific reason. After hearing about the Columbine school shooting I can only imagine the pain their parents felt while receiving the news. If the students had access to their cell phones could this have turned out differently? Dr. Stroka talks in a school safety video that you have to put a face on school safety and most people have forgotten what that’s about (Ken Trump). If students have access to phones it betters the chance of getting help right away in life threatening

Every person in this world has their own rights. These rights differ from one another when compared from country to country for obvious differences in laws and governments. In North America, within the Transcript of Human Rights, Right #17 states that, “everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others, and no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property,”. This right relates to the ownership of properties in the form of land as well as properties in relation to items. An example of an item commonly taken without consent is in fact, a cell phone. Not only are teachers as well as school boards not allowed to take phones away from students, it is in fact against the law

Students in United States schools have the Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches (Waldman, 2011). The Fourth Amendment is “The right of the people to be secure in their persons,

In the article “Phone Patrol” it states “California’s Ventura County arrested Gregory Diaz, saying they saw him participate in a drug deal. The sheriffs took Diaz’s cell phone from his pocket and scrolled through the text messages. They found one linking Diaz to the sale.”. However, not all stuff a person does should lead to an officer or school being able to go through a person’s phone. Monitoring students’ online activity is a major invasion of privacy and a violation of freedom of speech. eople could have pictures in there, of their girlfriends that they don’t want anyone else to see, and it would be an invasion of privacy for the both of

The police shouldn’t be allowed to search a cell phone of anyone they arrest without a warrant.

I think that students’ expectations of privacy while in school are guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which states that people have the right to be secure in their persons, property, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures (Siegel & Welsh, 2014). The schools must create and maintain a safe environment for students to learn. I feel that as long as the school provides safety and education then their policies should reflect. If searching the students’ property before they enter school grounds is necessary to ensure safety that is a reasonable search. Reasonable searches must be fair and impartial to all students no matter their race, ethnicity or gender. An example of an unreasonable search would be if

Officials shouldn’t look through your phone , because it’s a violation of privacy. For example, when a teachers look through students phones it makes students lose trust in their teacher.In the article Freedom Comes First, it claims that “There should be a level of trust between a teacher and a student.”This shows students to trust teachers and the things they say, or do.In addition, officials have no rights to look at any other device not owned by them or their company. Like in the article Freedom Comes First, it states

belongings without any reason necessary? In schools all over the country, students get wrongly accused of breaking rules or committing crimes. They must have their belongings or lockers searched to make sure that they are innocent, whether anyone has evidence or not. A 14-year-old freshman at Piscataway high school was caught smoking in the bathroom. The principle searched her purse, which the student said violated her Fourth Amendment protection. The Fourth Amendment is against “unreasonable searches and seizures.” Student privacy rights at school are necessary because it keeps personal information private, prevents other violations, and gives students the privacy they need.

Modern day cell phones, now contain many Americans private lives, they are protected under the Fourth Amendment due to the fact that they allow people to carry personal information, in the palm of their hand. Which is why searching a phone without a warrant is illegal as proven by the U.S Constitution and recently confirmed by the U.S Supreme Court.
