2 Supreme Court  Has ruled that school officials DO NOT need warrants to search students  All that is needed is REASONABLE SUSPICION (less than probable cause)

3 New Jersey v. TLO  School officials are NOT “in loco parentis” (stand-ins for parents)—they are officials of the state  There is a need to balance student expectation of privacy with the school’s right and responsibility to provide a good learning environment  Reasonableness of searches makes them okay

4 EXCLUSIONARY RULE  If an illegal search takes place, the evidence may not be used  This applies to evidence obtained directly from the search AND evidence obtained indirectly because of the search.  Mapp v. Ohio—extended the exclusionary rule to the states V.V.
