Schools Should Be Able To Search Students

I just don’t like how it feels getting searched for things you’d never have in a million years. It’s not jail where the officers can look through your items whenever they want to, so how come it’s starting to feel like it. No matter what a student should be violated or have their privacy invaded. And this situation is not a good thing allot of people are getting tired of being searched for no intentional

Unreasonable searches are to be prohibited in middle schools. Since the reasons for Redding being search was at the request of the principal. Wilson, he was the main person discussed. The nurse and secretary were acting as agents for Wilson in order to perform the search that he was unable to do because he was male. The school’s rules for the suspicions of illicit drugs were modified to adjust to how it should be handled by school officials. The reasonable standard of suspicion and probable cause has an implicit bearing on the reliable knowledge of what is known and discovered. The rules of the school do strictly prohibited the use of nonmedical use, possession, or sale of any drug on the school grounds. The majority feels that the manner in which she was searched was unjust and that it should have been more proof before they proceeded to perform a strip search of the student. The search of the backpack and outer clothes could be expected because of reasonable suspicion of concealing drugs, but the strip search was unnecessary because her clothes did not have pockets and they did not have the right or enough proof to proceed with the strip search in the manner that they did. The Court has adopted a different standard for searches involving an intrusion into the human

In the case New Jersey v. T.L.O., the student’s purse was searched after the principal had reasonable suspicion that she had cigarettes in her purse since she was caught smoking in the bathroom. The court decision in this case concluded that teachers are acting as agents for the state and are therefore allowed to search if they have reasonable suspicion. Students do have the Fourth Amendment right as all people in America have. However, student’s expectation of privacy has to be balanced with the needs of the school to maintain the educational environment. Schools do not have to obtain a warrant to search, but must have reasonable suspicion in order to search a student’s person or property.

With the use of proper search and seizure guidelines, schools are allowed to search students lockers without a warrant. Lockers and backpacks are subject to search with reasonable suspicion. To search a locker, a school staff member or police officer would have to have reasonable suspicion, probable cause, and student consent in some cases (Ehlenberger). For reasonable suspicion to occur, “ the search would be justified at its inception, meaning that there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the search will reveal evidence that the student has violated or is violating the law or school rules, and the search is reasonably related in scope to the circumstances that justified the search, meaning that the measures used to conduct the search are reasonably related to the objectives of the search and that the search is not excessively intrusive in light of the student 's age and sex and the nature of the offense” (Ehlenberger). Probable cause to search is when” "known facts and circumstances are sufficient to warrant a man of reasonable prudence in the belief that contraband will be found" (Ornelas v. United States, 1996, at 696)”

A. Rule: The court case of T.L.O. also establishes a more compassionate standard of what they review as a “reasonable suspicion”, in what goes on to determine whether or not the lawfulness of the search was in the school policy or follows district policy too. To lead reasonable suspicion can sum up and equalized,when it leans toward a lessen of any chance of finding evidence of wrongful behavior in a student or individual. Of all the information Wilson acquired from the Faculty and other questionable sources from students, Marissa’s statement of the pills came from Savannah that lead was sufficient in justification of a search upon Savannah’s backpack. In addition the Savannah’s outer clothing. Savannah reasoning could be possibly was reckoning of carrying the tylenol. The disgraceful strip search and seizure that ultimately exposed her private areas to some degree.The content of this belief failed to match the degree of intrusiveness she was getting from the school. Nothing was led to suggested the amount and quantity of the drugs, could appeal to pose a real danger to any of the students or to that of Savannah in carrying pills in her underwear or in bra.School officials are allowed and can search any students belongings and lockers. They are entitled to qualified immunity where it clearly states and establishes as qualified immunity and established

The intent of the Fourth Amendment is to guarantee security against unreasonable governmental searches. Because school officials are actually

Is there recovery for damages against police and prosecuting attorney for the irreplaceable destruction of religious artifacts during an illegal search on tribal property?

Ever since the first school shooting, a lot of people have changed their beliefs on this subject. I was in eighth grade when the shooting at Columbine High School took place. Before that shooting, I never would have considered something like that happening. Now, it is seventeen years later and school shootings almost seem like an everyday thing. That is sad, but it is true. This is why I believe a student should not have a high expectation of privacy while at school. The law used to be more lenient, but these circumstances have changed that. Right after Columbine, a lot of states had a zero tolerance law. According to the Center for Public Education site, this law said that if a student was caught with contraband they were given a strict punishment, no matter what the circumstance was. The laws have changed some over the last few years, and are not quite as strict as that. The schools still have to ensure that every student is safe, though. It is common for schools to have metal detectors or bring in dogs on a regular basis. Once they have a reason to suspect a student, they have the right to search their belongings. I believe this is well within their rights as administrators who are trying to protect the school as a whole. I realize that students may feel violated, I have been there. It was always an inconvenience to have to sit outside the hallways while the dogs searched each room. I never felt like it was wrong when they did find something though. So many students would bring large amounts of drugs, guns and knives to school. If it weren’t for the measures that the school took they would just be walking around with these items. I hope these laws never change, and my kids have the same protection that I did. I would hate to imagine my child going to school with guns and drugs within an arm’s reach. I believe the issue of student’s privacy is one that many people can agree with each other on.

I personally think that students should be able to have their own privacy and they shouldn’t be watched by the school district. I think this because as a teenager i don’t like being monitored by my parents when it comes to doing things on my social media accounts. I wouldn’t like it if my mother watched what i posted on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. because it would be an invasion of privacy. I think it is an invasion of privacy because everybody should already know what is right from wrong and they should know that certain words you say to someone

firstly, I think that school should be searched because it would make the school safe. It will make the school safer because it will get rid of drug and weapon in the school. BY searching the school for drugs it will send the drugs to jail and or to drug abuse place to help them. Also by arrested the kid that have drug on them it will teaches them a lesson to not do drug and not to bring them to school. Also you can find there deal and send him to jail for traffic . Over all it would make the city and the school 's better as there is one more drug dealer off the street to sell to kids. with one of the effect of most drug is that impact your learning, so if there were no people that do drug in the school the school avenge will go up and less of a chance of doing stupid thing like starting a fight or bring a weapon to school. Also by getting rid of weapon at school it will make them safe. there have been many shooting in Canada and around the world. Most notably in the USA. But Canada still has it fair share of shooting such as 2013: Les Racines de vie Montessori were two men died during the shooting. 2006: Dawson College, Montreal one woman was killed and Another 19 people were injured and the most recent and the worst Canadian school shooting in a decade the La Loche, Sask., shooting left four people dead. If there were police office in school 's at all time. If there were a shooting and police office were station in the school they could help prevent the loss of life and

In conclusion I believe that the school should have to get your permission to search your car if the drug dog finds something, but it is completely legal for the officers to search your car so unless we all sign a big petition just pertaining to the Corvallis School District we would never get anywhere in the court of law to make this

Dear school board, I, Hayden Groth think that police officers have the right to come to the school and make occasional, unannounced visits to the high schools to search for drugs, guns or things that can put people in danger. when they make an appearance to schools they search the whole property of the school, including student lockers and the parking lot. People may think that their unannounced visits, may not like them because they could have something on the property that maybe they forgot that was in their locker or car.

Prior to the landmark ruling by the United States Supreme Court, New Jersey v. T.L.O., 469 U.S. 325, 105 S. Ct. 733, 83 L. Ed. 2d 720 (1985), the clarity on how search and seizures applied to students in public schools were unclear. A particular case from 1969 can shed some light regarding on how the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution defines student rights in public schools. In Tinker v. Des Moines, 393 U.S. 503, 89 S. Ct. 733; 21 L. Ed. 2d 731 (1969), the court found that:

Schools shouldn’t be allowed to conduct random searches of students private items. I mean schools make it so our private items stay private so why can they do searches through

Walking into school last Friday, I saw an unfamiliar sight. Walking up and down the hallways, with police officer in tow, was a drug-sniffing dog. The sight left me absolutley flabergasted and appauled, as it did many of the other students and faculty. Not only does this ordeal undermine our rights to privacy, strike fear into the students and faculty, but it is also a big distraction. Although appauled, I also understood why people would see the need for them. However, the pros do not out weigh the cons to allowing unannounced visits to search our schools.
