CRM 314 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Detection Dog
Document Summary
No reasonable and probable grounds to suspect drugs. Vp acting as agent of police- effectively a police search. The reasonable expectation of privacy of a student in attendance at a school is certainly less than it would be in other circumstances. Students know that their teachers and other school authorities are responsible for providing a safe environment and maintaining order and discipline in the school. They must know that this may sometimes require searches of students and their personal effects and the seizure of prohibited items. It would not be reasonable for a student to expect to be free from such searches. A student"s reasonable expectation of privacy in the school environment is therefore significantly diminished. To require a warrant would clearly be impractical and unworkable in the school environment. Teachers and administrators must be able to respond quickly and effectively to problems that arise in their school.
