Need help, caught at school...

[tadaa]

I just found out that its legal for my school to perform search and seizures so I assume a lawyer is useless in my situation. Ill guesse tomorrow Ill be doing some serious begging and trying to work with them. Thx for the advice, Ill let you guys know how it goes.

lol, and how exactly did you find this out WITHOUT talking to a lawyer? I think it's funny how you've come to the conclusion that it's legal for the school to search your book bag but you have yet to talk to the only person that knows this for sure, your attorney.

If you didn't hear this from a lawyer you probably heard it from one of the following completely usesless souces:

a parent
a cop
a faculty member at the school

None of which have any clue as to what the law really says, trust me. If they did, there would be no need for criminal lawyers.

Don't get me wrong, you may very well be right, but unless that information came from a lawyer, which it obviously didn't based on your post, you have no idea if it's true or not.

Well common sense also has to come into play. Serious, if a couple cops come to your school with dogs and do a somewhat thorough search of the whole school, then 9 times out of 10, its not going to take a genius or even lawyer for that matter to know that it's legal. I don't know, maybe your a lawyer and just love their usefullness or something, but I wouldn't want to pay for something when all I had to do was open my eyes to find out.

i think its illegal for them to search your bag without giving them concent.

okay here's the low down on what the schools can search.

1.They can and well search your bag's
2.They Can and well also get into your cars
3.Anything you got they can search

it's a proven fact that your voice or option does not matter in school. I have ask and heard teacher saying to me and other class mates that a student has no rights.

More then likely the school is gonna screw you like they did with me.
for example 2 weeks ago i tried Signing out to a alternative school (With means you can get a High school Diploma, or a GED (Adult Ed as well))
And well they state in their policy once a student is 16yr's old you have every-right to sign up there anytime, well to make a long story short. they denied me with no reason (Even when i ask, they ended up saying they didn't have to tell me)

i have two been search a few times because of people not shutting up when they wonted to go though me to get more weed. (Lucky i was never caught) but they never have to ask a parent or student to be search at any time.

but hey you may get a lucky break. but it seems for me i never get one, always denied, denied, denied

It wasn't a cop that did the search, read the original post.

lol, you heard this from a teacher, my argument stands. Last time I checked highschool teachers don't have law degrees.

Damn, The Colonel has spoken. It looks like everybody who is smart was wrong.



(I am so high right now)

basicly my point it the law doesn't stand in schools. if it did, wouldn't you think that you could walk to the bathroom with out having to ask like a little baby?
And this wasn't from just teachers but from like principles and stuff, the list goes on

From my experience with the law and the people in my family that practice law I will say one thing and one thing only: If you do not know your rights and the law you will be taken advantage of, period.

So based on your logic a teacher can give a black student an F because he's black. And technically, a teacher can't deny a student the right to use the bathroom, that's a law.
