    The Pros And Cons Of Drug Search

    they just don't know think it's worth it to bring drugs, alchol, or firearms into schools ( Robinson 3). This shows that having drug dogs will lessen the chances of kids bringing any non-appropraite items to school. Lastly using drug dogs for searches sends a clear message to students and the community that schools are drug/gunfree zone. "I may not be able to control what students do off school property, but I do not want parents or students to fear that they will be in class with other students who are under the influence (Robinson)". This evidence suggests that schools and the administration want the public to know that schools are a drug free zone and they will try and keep it that…

    Argumentative Essay: Locker Searches In Schools

    Firstly, the students see the searches of their lockers is an invasion of property given by the school itself "The biggest drawback to a school locker search is the lack of trust students may feel as a result of actions they see as an invasion of privacy. Because students may keep personal items in their lockers, such as photographs and personal letters, even a search with the best intentions can appear to be a major breach of trust by teachers and administrators, causing a rift between the student body and the faculty" (classroom-synonym) the evidence states that the searches would be negative in many ways. First being a violation of the 4th amendment, and second, searches decrease the trust between teacher and students in an environment where the teachers require the students to trust them. In addition, the students feel that it is a violation of their privacy. Students question why they are being targeted. Some schools say that the lockers are their property, however backpacks are the students’ private property, but schools state that whatever comes to school, the teachers are obliged to search if reasonable (classroom-synonym). In the case of New Jersey v T.L.O, although the bag was owned by…

Students also bring drugs to sell or to have for themselves to keep in their locker during the school day. Drug dogs are commonly used by police to search for drugs in schools, but what if the dog has a cold and can’t sniff anything out that day? These are real life issues that some people face and are quite alarming. There may be one solution, though, for sick drugs dogs; you can always check the video camera for any suspicion before you claim someone tolerated a school…

    14th Amendment Essay

    The lockers have been given to the students expecting them to take care of it and being responsible over it. What is the need to go through it? I have been given a locker since sixth grade and never once has a teacher much less a principle gone through my locker. If they were to go through my locker it would make me feel like i'm a suspect for something I have no connection with.On our way into school each day student’s book bags are checked each day. There have even been instances in which the security guards have taken over an hour to go through the student's belongings, while teachers, administrators and principals go through without being checked not only is it hypocritical but unjust. Teenagers should be given the benefit of the doubt. I have been present in an event where a teacher unjustifiably read his messages out loud after his phone rang in class without him even having it in his hands. It wasn't in the teacher’s responsibility nor authority to go through his messages much less reveal his messages.We are called the next generation yet we are restricted to are given liberty's by others insecurities. If people can't practice what they preach then they should change their speech. I would rather be considered a rebellious teenager than a lying hypocrite.Trust has become nothing but a blur and a silver lining with perseption, perseption is all that they can see in the end of the…

    Drug Tests Unconstitutional

    If students start rebelling, the school will lose a lot of good players and participants. Either they will quit or their parents will take them out, because not only are the kids being put on display but their families as well. By losing an abundance of participants or players the school will get a bad reputation. Sports and academics are the two most important things at our school. As small of a thing as taking random drug tests is, it could mess up the order of the school.…

    Search and Seizure

    I believe that search and seizure is very important for our country and our rights. Search and Seizure helps to protect our fourth amendment right, which is the right to privacy. The Search and seizure says that law enforcement cannot search or put anyone under arrest unless they have evidence to support that action (Murray). I believe that search and seizure is important to protecting our privacy rights. If police so not have any evidence against you, that they can’t search you, your car your house or anything.…

    Drug Testing for School Athletes

    Drug Testing for School Athletes

    Without suspicion of drug use, schools cannot require drug tests of athletes, because it violates their Fourth Amendment right. According to the US Bill Of Rights: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause.” (Cayton). This means that you need probable cause or suspicion of drug use before you can require a drug test of someone. School athletes should not be subject to unjust searches based on non-existent evidence. The searches would be both unlawful and unreasonable thus making the policy unconstitutional. Nevertheless, there are many people who oppose this policy, and believe that student-athlete drug testing is needed to protect the common good and ensure the safety of everyone (Mikula). However, no policy should be able to violate the constitution and infringe on the student’s privacy. An example of this is from a court case involving a Texas School District. The Texas School argued that they needed a policy to test student-athletes for drugs to help control the “drug crisis” going on at their school.…
