The Weekly/BiWeekly School Shooting Thread

They should have asked the parents to search the bookbag. A school cannot search a student's property without reasonable suspicion. The nuts who are chomping at the bit to sue a school for overstepping their boundaries and infringing on the rights of the individual have created this reluctance to do what always seems warranted in hindsight.
Guilty until proven innocent, right?
 
Nope. Just because someone is at school they don’t forfeit their 4th amendment rights.
They probably did by signing one of the 3 hundred forms they brought home that no one ever reads and signs it anyway.
 
Public, private, charter, and parochial schools operate under a statute called in loco parentis, or "in the place of the parents." While a student is on the grounds and there is a reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing, the ranking on site official or their designee can, with just cause, search lockers, bags, etc. Many schools use their SRO for this purpose so that it is a trained law enforcement officer doing the handling.

This needs to change.
 
When given permission or has a warrant. Send them home if can’t get either.
From what I've read, the school officials tried to get the parents to take him home at the meeting earlier in the day, but they refused and left without him. The parents are probably psychos, too.

Should have called the cops and had him taken off the property. This incident is complete failure of common sense all around.

And the cops were going to take him away on what charges? Where are they taking him? For how long?
 
Trespassing
????? So a student is not only welcome at school but forced to be there until the school doesn't want them there and then they can have them forcefully removed with no charge?
And you're about protecting individual rights?
