" 

The first trail ruled that the school was in the right to search the students purse and the evidence can be used in trial. The appeal (a later case against the original ruling) said that the school is a representative of the government and cannot actually search the students purse.

The court said, however, that school officials are protected from personal liability in the case.

The ruling is a partial victory for Savana Redding, who had been summoned from her middle school classroom and was asked to strip down to her underwear as school officials searched for prescription strength ibuprofen.

The decision could redefine student privacy rights and outline important guidelines for school officials as they seek out dangerous contraband, like drugs, weapons or alcohol.

An 8-1 majority of the Court found that the search was unconstitutional. Justice David Souter, writing for the majority said, "Savana's subjective expectation of privacy against such a search is inherent in her account of it as embarrassing, frightening, and humiliating. … Here, the content of the suspicion failed to match the degree of intrusion."

"The strip search of Savana Redding was unreasonable and a violation of the Fourth Amendment," the court ruled.

The Court emphasized that the intrusiveness of the search was not justified because Savana was not suspected of carrying dangerous drugs. "The Fourth Amendment places limits on the official, even with the high degree of deference that courts must pay to the educator's professional judgment."

"In a 5-3 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the principal's actions did not violate the students' free speech rights. The Court noted that the paper was sponsored by the school and, as such, the school had a legitimate interest in preventing the publication of articles that it deemed inappropriate and that might appear to have the imprimatur of the school."]]> 2023-08-31 22:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplanramany/ngqacfsumhgpzbbu/wish/2680358613 MR: Mohammad S https://padlet.com/kaplanramany/ngqacfsumhgpzbbu/wish/2680370511 Six percent of schools required

Search of Student Car Parked on School Property: State of New Jersey v. Thomas E. Best.
 Brandt, the assistant principal of Egg Harbor Township High School, received a report of a student suspected of being under the influence of drugs. Brandt met with the student, who admitted he ingested a green pill that eighteen-year-old defendant Thomas Best gave him during fifth-period auto shop class.

randt and another assistant principal, Ted Pugliese, interviewed Best, who denied any wrongdoing. Brandt explained to Best that a student claimed he received a green pill from Best. Brandt then searched Best and found three white capsules in his pants pocket, but no green pills. Best admitted that he sold a pill to a student for five dollars, but claimed that the pill was merely a nutritional supplement. Brandt subsequently searched Best’s locker but discovered no pills.

Des, a group of students were trying to show their support for a truce in the Vietnam war. They wore the armbands in school to show their support. The school got involved in this case and created a policy stating that "any student wearing an armband would be asked to remove it, with refusal to do so resulting in suspension". The group still decided to wear the armbands at school and were suspended. This caused hate and, the group sued the school for violating their 1st Amendment, for their freedom with support. 


In December 1965, a group of students in Des Moines held a meeting in the home of 16-year-old Christopher Eckhardt to plan a public showing of their support for a truce in the Vietnam war. They decided to wear black armbands throughout the holiday season and to fast on December 16 and New Year's Eve. The principals of the Des Moines school learned of the plan and met on December 14 to create a policy that stated that any student wearing an armband would be asked to remove it, with refusal to do so resulting in suspension.

signal that Lange should pull over. Rather than stopping, Lange drove
a short distance to his driveway and entered his attached garage."

This case talks about someone who was driving with loud music and honking his horn by a police officer. The police officer turned his police lights and the person decided to not pull over. Instead he drove a short distance to his house and pulled into his garage. The police over thought he was intoxicated and tested him. He came back positive for alcohol in his system. When he got charged for driving and being intoxicated he pleaded the 4th and said that he didn't have a warrant. The courts said that he was still in the wrong.]]> 2023-08-31 22:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplanramany/ngqacfsumhgpzbbu/wish/2680372766 Zhen https://padlet.com/kaplanramany/ngqacfsumhgpzbbu/wish/2680374323 The Arizona Court of
