Should Police Officers Be Able To Check People's Phones

If they arrest someone who is carrying a cell phone, officers can dig through the phone’s content, including text messages, voice mails, e-mails, calendars, and photos.So then they can solve the case and whoever else that was involved. However, if a student does something on social media by posting it the school should not be able to do anything about it that is the parent's responsibility. The parents have the right to check their kids phones not the schools. If something happens then the schools should just call the

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.

In the article Cell Phone in School, written by Beverly Ballaro and Jill Ginsburg they give many good examples why cell phones should be in school. In school many teachers really don't like their students to have cell phones but they make come in handy if their was a school shooting. The document states, “After the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School and the September 2001 terrorist attacks, however, many schools eased restrictions on cell phones use in middle and high schools.” This is such a genius idea to allow kids to have phone at school because if another attack occurs then the students with phone will be able to call either their parents or the police. There can also be different situations other than attacks where phones

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.

Bullying is something that could become a problem if cell phones were allowed during school hours. For example, in the locker room, while students were changing in or out of gym clothes another student could take a rude or unnecessary picture. Those types of things really hurt. Using a feature on cell phones called texting, students can send mean or hateful things to each other during the day, and hurt many other people’s feelings. One more way that bullying could arise from allowing cell phone use during school hours is by students stealing other student’s phones. Phones could be stolen off desks or from lockers; also a student could walk right up to another and take their phone away. There is already enough bullying throughout schools, and there is no need to add one more way for bullying to happen. School is supposed to be a place where students can come and feel comfortable and be themselves, but bullying does not make school a happy place.

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

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

If officials are allowed to check personal belongings without a warrant, it may save many people's lives. For example, when students post something personal or inappropriate about someone else that can lead to cyberbullying. “Fourteen states have passed anti-cyberbullying laws, and other states are considering them. If a school catches a student bullying someone online before the police do, the student is less likely to end up in legal trouble,”Said Joseph Maneen. This says that officials can help stop cyberbullying before it goes too far and ends up illegal. In addition, When people post something or say something you don't like, it can lead to a physical fight. “If the students have done something worth taking the (social networking site) password, of course the school should take it,” Peter Ivancic, a teacher from Haverhill, MA tells us. Peter is trying to explain that problems can be solved earlier by officials checking the phones.

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

Students shouldn’t be allowed to have phones in school because students can easily use them to cheat on tests and quizzes. According to U.S. News “More than one third of teens with cell phones admit to having stored information on them to look at during a test or texting friends about answers.” (Miners, “More than”). Many people already use phones to cheat now even when phones aren’t allowed, so allowing phones to be present in the classroom will give students easier opportunities to cheat. Cheating is also unfair to the students who study and work hard to make grades. So phones not being allowed in classrooms is a better choice so students will study and learn instead of just cheating using their phone.

tragedies, various school boards reversed cell phone bans and/or loosened rules governing student use of cell phones on campus.” (Trump). After these attacks, school boards realized that parents needed to have some sort of way to know how their children are because they may think that their son or daughter were killed. An Ebsco Host article detailed the reason for this shift in policy, saying that it was “...driven by safety concerns of both parents and teens...” (Ballaro, Ginsburg).

Picture this, there has been a school lockdown, the suspect cut the landlines so no one could call the police for a rescue. However, the suspect was captured by the police much faster than he imagined. The last scene wouldn’t have happened if it was one decade ago, because cell phones were not popular in schools then. When it comes to cell phones, some people think they should not be permitted in schools, and other people think they should be permitted in schools. I agree with the latter opinion for the following reasons: Cell phones are an efficient way to communicate when emergencies occur in school; cell phones can be a great tool for learning during school hours; and the current prohibitive rules on cell phones are merely fruitless

It cell phones can be a huge threat to school and everyone in it by being used as a bomb or a

The debate on whether schools should allow cell phones has been around since cell phones were introduced to the public. This debate has two strongly supported point of views. The nay-sayers agree that cell phones are a big distraction to students and prevent them from doing work. For this reason, some schools have a no cell phone policy. However, people who agree to having cell phones in the classroom have an even stronger point of view. They believe that cellphones help students be more productive, and even stay safe. Those two reasons alone put having cell phones in the classroom above not having them. Cell phones should be allowed in classrooms because they help with the learning environment, provide easy access to the internet, and can be used as a way of communication or identification in case of an emergency.

Pursuing this further, students should not be allowed to bring cell phones to school because it can be used for cyber bullying. Students bully other students in hallways, bathrooms, classrooms and playgrounds but cyber bullying is when you bully someone throughout emailing. Eventually, a
