My daughter was recently called out in the middle of class to search her person, locker, bag, and car based on a tip from an unknown person. It was very embarassing to her and disruptive to the whole class. Nothing was found in the search. I have a problem with the process. If they would have waited for the bell and ask her to visit the office, it would have been better for all. I question the validity of the tip (my daughter does not have any history of substance use at the school), and the decision to act on this tip, since it turned out to be wrong. I think they used strong arm tactics, they were intentionally trying to intimidate and embaress. What are our rights in this situation?
