Search of student okay under Fourth Amendment

       Evidence obtained as a result of a search of a student by a public high school official was lawful.  The Fourth Amendment protects students of a public school campus against unreasonable search and seizure.  However, the need to maintain discipline and a safe environment for learning is considered.  The search in this case was conducted pursuant to an established policy that every student who leaves the campus and then returns is subject to search upon return.

       Juvenile Law Crimes is a focus of this office.  A violation of a minor's rights has great impact the juvenile life and future.
