When it comes to random locker and personal searches, they should not be allowed in schools. They are a violation of privacy, to do the search the person doing the search needs a reason to do t, and it affects the student's academics. Random locker and personal searches a violation of privacy. It states in the BIll Of Rights under the 4th amendment that you are protected for searches and seizures, ad that you can not be searched unreasonably. Searches are not only a violation of privacy, they also need a reason to be held. If a police officer came into your classroom and pulled you aside and said that the need to preform a locker search on you. And the reason they are doing the search is "because I feel like it", that is totally unacceptable. You need an actual reason to search someone's personal privacy. Last but not least, when you pull someone aside to preform a search, you are taking them out of precious class time. They could be consuming 10- 15 min of time that they could be using to work on a project or paper due the next day. And if it were to turn out that nothing was in the locker to begin with then you wasted time. Overall, the need to do random locker searches are unnessery, they are not only an invasion of privacy, and need a logicl reason to hold them, but they can hurt a student's academics.
