Acevedo (sp?).  With that, even though it was on school property, the police reserve the right to search by any means necessary if they have probible cause.  In this case, the dog kept pointing to the box, so the police deemed it necessary to break open the box.  If the student would have suggested that the police take out the subs by unscrewing them, then it might be different.  If a staff member was to search the car, and broke the box, they would be liable for all damage, but police reserve the special right to search by all means necessary.  Hope that helps a little!  //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif</p></blockquote><p></p>
