My son was required to sign a form in order to park his vehicle on school property. It had the basic stuff like: Must park in designated student areas; Must follow speed limit on school property; etc. There is also a rule, #6, that states exactly (I'm writing it directly from the form): "Vehicles parked on school property are subject to inspection and searches by school authorities with or without the assistance of law enforcement officials and specially trained dogs. These inspections and searches can be conducted without notice to or the consent of the student." Ok, first of all, I understand the whole, "for the safety of the student" thing, but there is also something called the US Constitution and the 4th Amendment which specificaly states that this type of action is illegal. This is a public school and an open campus. For me this is about rights, not admission of guilt. So, if you say, "If you have nothing to hide, then....." I'd rather not hear it. Thx for all replies.
