No teacher, principle, attendant, can even lay a finger on you without the consent of you or your parents. this is illegal and they can be sued.

as for your car, only a police officer can do that and he must either have the permission of the person to whom the car is entitled or a search warrant
This is actually not true. There was a case where two girls were caught smoking cigarettes at a public school a while back. The principle ended up searching both their purses, found a bunch of pot as well as letters that indicated they were dealing. They got in trouble for all of these things and couldn't do shit about it legally. YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS AT A PUBLIC SCHOOL. Buy, sell, smoke at your own risk!!! (BTW, a private school is even worse, you have absolutely no rights.)
