Lawyer Talk: Off the Record


080 – Students are People Too – Legal Rights at School

January 23, 2019

What rights do kids have at school? How does the Fourth Amendment - the protection against unreasonable search and seizure - apply in a school setting? One of our listeners asked, "Can they search my kid's backpack at school?" The lawyers at Lawyer Talk - who are also experienced criminal defense attorneys who have handled many juvenile cases - answer this question. And they cover a lot of related information that parents, relatives and teens should know, from "reasonable suspicion" standards and exceptions, what teens as a group do most often with their cell phones that is actually a crime, to occasions when well-meaning parents have been manipulated into cooperating with school officials and police - to the detriment of their kids.
