The Supreme Court ruling of New Jersey vs. T.L.O (1985) , the court adopted a "reasonable suspicion" ( legaly, reasonable suspicion could be anything and everything) standard, as opposed to "probable cause" to evaluate the legality of searches in a school setting. In other words, if you are a student, on school property the school has the right to search you and your property without any legal document. You may ask on what reason of suspicion you are  searching, and they have to answer you. With a simple reason, we have been informed some students have drugs in their car, the search is legal. They don't have to tell you why they are searching unless you ask.</p></blockquote><p></p>
