• A public school student 's protection against unreasonable search and seizure is less stringent in school.
…show more content…
• a search of a student by a teacher or other school official will be "justifie d at its inception" when:
• there are reasonable grounds suspecting the search will result in evidence that the student has violated or is violating either the law or rules of the school.
• the measures are related to the objective of the search.
• the measures are not intrusive in light of the age and sex of the student.

Amendment.
("The Free Dictionary", 2014).

If someone commits a crime and the police need to access private information about a certain person, then the police have to make a clear and probable case to the judge and if the judge thinks they are a threat they will give the police that search warrant.

The Canadian Supreme Court reviewed the case, and in 2008, they ruled that the random search of the Ontario school was unconstitutional…
