Need help, caught at school...

On Thursday, March 30th, I was caught with paraphanelia on campus. It was during my 5th period class when I was out to P.E. when my school advisorer searched my back pack wich I had left outside while we went on a run. I had a glass spoon hidden inside and was susspended for five days with a recommendation of expulsion. Today my princeple informed my parents that they have come to the conclusion that expulsion will take place. After talking to the head of my school he has decided to have a talk with me tomorrow at 7am but to not give our hopes up because expulsion will still most likely take place. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do or say tomorrow that could get me out of this situation? I do not wish to transfer schools and leave all my good buddies behind.

i dont believe that the school has the right to search your bag with reason and your consent! so if you got a lawyer you might get back in but it will be a lot of trouble! call a local lawyer and tell him your situation, he should tell you if it can be won and you shouldnt be charged for the consultation. thats about all you can do! or kiss there ass!

tell them you are sooo honestly sorry for bringing paraphanellia on school property. promise it will NEVER EVER happen again, tell them you really really want a second chance and that you will not mess it up.

yea dude, seriousley if they just randomly checked your bag, thats illegal i think.

I don't know. You give up a lot of your constitutional rights once you step into a school (free speech, right to bear arms, right to assemble...). I bet it was perfectly legal.

I'm not sure about that Oneironaut, one time when i was at school, someone gave them an anonymous tip that i had weed in my car, and they still had to call my dad to get permission from him to search my car.

Captain Hanks- call a lawyer and ask!!!

But if it was legal, then at that meeting you need to do some MAJOR ass kissing. Dress up very nicely, and when you go in there be extremely polite, and just tell them you are extremely sorry and it will not ever happen again and you would like another chance to prove you can change.

They are allowed to search any and all property on their property. And for 'dood989' it was because you were under 18, probably, is why they called your dad or it could have been in his name.

No, they aren't.

Number one they aren't law enforecment, they don't have the right to search a godamn thing. They will however expell your ass unless you get a lawyer involved, which should be the first thing you do without even thinking.

ok this is how it is at my school...if its in your locker, then they can search ONLY the locker, unless your bag is open and they can see inside. And they cannot search the cars unless something is in visible site without getting in the car. (unless they get an "annonymous" tip or something along those lines)

Actually, my friend was suspended last year because a teacher found out he had bud, so he threw it in some locker, but a teacher saw him do it...he should of just hid it in his back pack.

The main problem here is that you will get taken advantage of if you don't know the law. I'm telling you, get a lawyer or you're going to get screwed. Authority has been doing it since the beginning of time, if you don't know the laws you will be taken advantage of.

call the ACLU
