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

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

“Reality is easy. Deception that's the hard the hard work” -Lauryn Hill. In the novel the Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne uses literary elements such as symbolism, irony and conflict to show deception and secrecy can lead to self-destruction. This relates to the Scarlet Letter because in the book the protagonist character commits an act of sin that was more than just frowned upon. Not only does the community gossip and turn their cheek to the sinner but a sickness comes along from keeping a secret from the community.

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

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 our world, people who bring in money with their talents are usually compensated for their efforts. It makes complete sense right? Well for college athletes, they bring in billions of dollars worth of revenue for their school, but do not get compensated for their talents whatsoever. Most people argue that only professional athletes should be paid because it is their profession, but people do not take in account for all the hard work and effort these student athletes put in. Just like professional athletes, college athletes put their body on the line, and a free bachelor's degree is not worth their body they put on the line. Someone that could potentially injure their body for life deserves more

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

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.

Should schools and officials be able to go through one’s phone for information? I don’t believe that schools and officers have the right to be able to go through a suspect’s phone for information about something, I believe it is a violation of privacy, and ignores the fourth amendment which protects people from random search and seizures. For example, they could have embarrassing or funny personal photos and videos with a friend that they wouldn't want anyone watching or seeing. In the article “Phone Patrol” it states “People could have....pictures in there, like of their girlfriends, that they don’t want somebody else to see, and it would be an invasion of privacy not only for them, but the other person also.”, and I believe police don’t need to be snooping through a suspect's personal information and pictures because they are invading one’s privacy. In addition, schools shouldn’t be able to stalk and look at a student's social media and then go through that students stuff. If there’s a situation, the school shouldn’t get involved, they should let the student’s parents take care of that. In the article “Password Protected”, it says “Schools do

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

According to the Oxford Dictionary evil is the antithesis of all good; morally depraved, bad, wicked, vicious (Evil). This definition relies completely on another word: good.
