DAY 34 (Mar 29) Locker Searches and Your Rights

You spent the first half of class looking at the issue of Locker Searches based on yesterday's handout.  Some of the points, as raised yesterday, that are worth considering include:

Points to Consider in Locker Searches:
1. Privacy.
2. Who owns the locker?
3. School-wide security.
4. What constitutes "reasonable suspicion"?
5. Who are the witnesses?
6. What about shared lockers?
7. Seriousness of the suspected offense.
8. What about lockers that are not locked?
9. Prior offenses of the suspects?
10. Should all lockers be searched?
