Principal of school knows the Cop?

Question

My friends son's school had a bomb threat in the bath room "bomb 11-14" and the school thinks its my friends Son, Mike. He is in 9th grade. The mom isnt in town so she some how gave my permission to go to school and talk. (I am some kind of legal guardian anyways) I went there today, and Mike claims he didnt do it. School thinks he did. There was a Cop there, The principale Knows him personaly. Is the legal? I heard them talking and idk I think the principale is like making on him. But in September Mike got the principale in troble, he was changing the grades of students and he got in troble by the Board. So I think hes tring to get Mike back..

Answer 1

I will get a lawayer involved, because people work together especially when they know oneanother.

Answer 2

This is a tough situation, cops aren't always fair. Have you considered going to the police station and asking that another officer be assigned due to a possible conflict of interest? You've got to be really careful though and make sure whoever you talk to isn't friends with the guy as well. I'm sure it's legal what they're doing, after all they're both doing their job right? Ethical, I dunno about that one. Do they have evidence of this or is this all suspicion, or circumstantial? How did they find this out? Who was involved? Was the kid charged or held by authorities? Was a police report written? You've got to get these answers. When the principal called the police, there should be a record of that call. Get a copy of that call and a copy of any reports subsequently made (public record of police reports: CAD is the phone call conversation, and the report will be assigned a case #). Maybe contact The Board and see if they can offer support or intervene somehow since they know the history. If you feel this is a set-up, you've got to find evidence of that. Harassment is illegal, but proving it is difficult. Consider transferring schools if you can't get the support and backing this kid sounds like he's gonna need, and pray to God that the kid didn't really do it! Seriously start looking into finding a lawyer, you can begin the process with interviews and getting referrals to help when your friend returns.

Answer 3

Many Cops know many principles and teachers. Cops work with School staff on various issues/crimes. Is this legal; yes. Does this principle sound like he has some issues; yes.

I find it hard to believe a principle would change grades of a student without reason. Lets keep in mind you are getting your scathed account of whats happening from a teenager who does not want to get in trouble.

Answer 4

Of course, normally the police know most of the officers that would come to the school.

Also many schools have full time police officers assigned to thier schools.

Answer 5

I don't read jibberish, or I might be able to help you. On top of the box you're typing in, you'll see two words that say "Check Spelling." Go ahead and click on that after you're done typing. It will show you words that are misspelled and give people that are reading your questions information to go on.
Good Luck

Answer 6

It doesnt make a difference, cops interact at schools all the time and know the officials and teachers.

Answer 7

Of course there is a "conflict of interest", and for all you know they could be drinking buddies. The police and the principal need to follow the rules of integrity, but you know how that can go. There has to be some kind of evidence, and even if someone dimed him out, (if he did it), and they plan on pressing charges, you have the right to be faced by your accusers. I think its going to be a "he said, she said" thing, but good luck and make sure you "document everything". As for being legal, there is nothing illegal unless someone is benefiting from the "conflict of interest".

Answer 8

Mike, let's try a real question.
