Background • The principle, Mr. Choplick searched

T.L.O’s purse because her and her friend were caught in the bathroom smoking and she denied it.

• If evidence is found violating an amendment it is considered useless

• Just because you are under aged you still have all your rights.

Court Opinions

• There was a probable cause to search T.L.O.’s purse since smoke was found in the bathroom when she was there. This is allowable since they have evidence,

Significance

• Now that this case had taken in effect, public schools need to have a search warrant in order to search through a student’s stuff such as a locker or book bag.

My Opinion

• It is fair that the evidence of rolling paper and stuff was not held against T.L.O. because they were only searching for cigarettes. There was a probable cause to search her stuff only for cigarettes. The supreme’s decision was right
