That's ewie to begin with, but if it's entirely necessary (it is possible to smuggle things around with you in various..er...crevices), the police should go about it. Preferably, a medical professional or someone who won't intimidate the student by the ordeal. And it has to be a man to a man and a woman to a woman for privacy reasons or the student should be offered that instead of turning over the drugs or whatever.
Ugh, it's an icky idea from the beginning. I don't know what I'm prattling about. I'd never subject to that kind of search. Nor would I have drugs in the first place though...:/
I am fine with drug dogs searching lockers, but strip searching is going a little too far. And about leaving it to the parents, what if the parents are disgruntled and are drug addicts themselves or alcoholics. They might abuse the kid or something, really this is an etchy issue. It has its good and bad sides and no one will ever win the debate on this.
If its drugs than its a resonable cause for the cops to do whatever. But I wouldn't go as far as strip searching students. I would get pissed if I was searched like that. I would sue them for like public humiliation. lol. idiots. anyways they shouldn't do that neither make it legal for them to do that.
QUOTE anyways they shouldn't do that neither make it legal for them to do that. you right it shouldn't be legal, but in most places it is.
I don't think that is right at all. The dogs and the lockers are alright but the strip search is really not necessary. I would feel absolutely violated if I was being under a strip search and to be found out that I didn't have anything on me.
I also think it's wrong because alot of students are under aged and that just really wouldn't be right at all. Even if they are guilty of having it on them they still shouldn't have to resort to strip searching. The dogs should be able to smell it out anyways so they really don't need it. A dogs scent can't be masked by whatever you're hiding... no matter where you have it. Unless you swallow it maybe... but I doubt you're going to get anywhere with a strip search if it's swallowed. So in a nut shell... I believe it's wrong, and sick.
I don't think students should be strip searched. Dogs checking lockers and bags is fine, but not if the police then go and just chuck everything out to try and find drugs. I keep all my coursework in my locker, as do all the other students at my school and it would be awful if there work was wrecked just for the police to check a locker.
I think if they do find anything they should speak to the parents and confront the student when they get home, not at school.
I don't know, i guess i should be against it, but i am not. As long as they dont go invading your stuff just to do it, i think its fine. You never know what someone can be hiding. I can easily hide many things in my pockets let alone my backpack. Many students have smuggled in alchohalic drinks, many deal drugs, many do drugs at the school...And just knowing that i used to be a part of it all, i think it should be stopped.
Schools shoudnt even have to do this, our future really has no hope.. The only thing im against is getting in trouble for like aspirin, or anything like that. I have had friends who got in trouble for caring around pills like midol and motrin, and aspirin...meanwhile kids 5 people down probably have E in their back pocket.
That is going way too far. I don't think that schools should be able to do that. I don't think anyone should be able to do that, without incredibly good reason. Even so, I'd feel so violated because of it. It seems wrong to me. Very very wrong.
As for the getting in trouble for over the counter drugs like aspirin and midol and all that... that's going over the edge too. I live with pain everyday... if I didn't have my meds, I wouldn't be functioning all that well. There was a long time during highschool that my routine was, wake up, take a couple aspirin and then get ready for school. I'd take the pills with me too, because typically, I'd be having more during class if the pain returned. So, if someone thought they were illegal drugs, and then searched my locker, I wouldn't think that was so bad. They are just trying to keep the bad stuff out of the kid's hands. But if they didn't find anything, and did a strip search... I couldn't imagine anything more humiliating.  But a lot of students, especially highschoolers bring those with them anyway. After about 2 months from the start of the schoolyear, my school did a "secret" inspection on us. They told us some stupid reason and we went out of our classroom. They started searching our bags. Then, when we reentered, they felt our pockets and stuff. It's not new here, in my old school, they did the same, only then, we had to take our stuff from our pockets too. Then they told us, "We took some phones, and we know some of you have their phones there. We'll be waiting for you in the Principal's Office this dismissal. You know yourselves..." Then of course, out of fear, the people who brought cellphones went...We never had drug searches... It's something that's too bizzare to happen to this all-girl's school with hardly any students.  Hehe... Even so... I don't like the idea being searched like this. It's embarassing... They see your stuff... It's really a violation of privacy.

Second I DO unfortunately have to agree with searching lockers. In today's society there are so many things that are messed up like drugs and guns getting into schools that it is a needed tool. HOWEVER I do not believe that they should be able to do ANY searches without probable cause or a warrant. (probable cause could include a note stating they have the stuff, an eye witness, a trained dog homing in on a locker) I believe strip searches should ONLY be conducted if the person is first taken into custody by a police officer, read their rights and taken to the police station. I also believe that a lawyer for the child or child's service rep should be IN THE ROOM during the search and the child's parents should be notified BEFORE the search. I also believe that strip searches SHOULD NOT be preformed unless there is evidence that the child is hiding something dangerous on them, for the most part patting the child down would do. I honestly do not believe strip searches should be preformed on a child for things like drugs. Guns and other potentially life threatening items MAYBE.
Honestly I think that they should have at least some proof relating to the specified student of the person being involved with drugs. It's one thing to see a bag of weed right outside someone's locker or a classroom, and it's another to see some person wearing all black and hand-cuffs on their belt (any other of that kind of stuff too) and to immediately call someone after them for suspicion. Several times I've had to take a long test asking "Do you take drugs?" "Do you take marijuana?" "Do you take weed?" "How often do you smoke pot?" kinds of things, and it's quite repetitious and irrelevant to the majority of the students who attend the school. I wouldn't be surprised if 1-10 students out of a 2000 populated school were on drugs of some kind, and I don't blame the school administration for wanting to know who those students are and wanting to settle it. However, it isn't right to bring the subject of drugs in the first place to the attention of the entire school.
So, basically, it's good that charge is being made, but something should be changed about how they do it. Getting sniff dogs and police involved as a first step should never be the case unless proof of the student being inspected has already been found.
In our school noone is ever stripsearched/has been/hopefully will be. If a drug dog barks/stops/does whatever is is supposed to by your locker, it is searched. If anything is found - you are screwed. I mean, suspended. My friend was suspended for a whole month. If nothing is found in your locker or on you - your name goes on the record, but you are let go. The next time this happens they just take you to the police station.
I do not think the school officials have a right to do a strip search in any possible and impossible way.
Have to agree that in extreme cases, searches could indeed invade privacy and so forth. This should only be handled by the cops in extreme situations, such as a deliquent being a suspect in a serious crime. Having schools or other institutions doing the work for no particular reason indeed could be debatable on whether it infringes privacy.
why would people do that
