Can’t you just refuse search and seizure at schools?
Non-sports post.
First there was that girl that got strip-searched at school. Now there’s this ruling from the NJ Supreme Court:
School officials can search students’ cars on school property if they suspect them of illegal activity, the state Supreme Court unanimously ruled today in a decision that further broadens administrators’ investigatory rights.
How far can they go? The kid puts the keys of his car in his pocket. The school administrator says “give me the keys or I break your window”. The kid refuses. Can he break his car window? Why is it that the police require something more than a school administrator? Indeed, in the strip-search case, how far could the administrator go if the girl refuses? Could he tie her down, do it in a crowded room? I find it insane that a school administrator has more power than the police and less restrictions. Indeed, the child, who is not even legally allowed to consent to anything the school administrator asks, is being asked to consent.
Listen, I know my feeble mind is too small to understand what the greatest judges in NJ are thinking. But, to these guys, tell me why I shouldn’t give them a “Dudes, c’mon.”
