Should schools be able to single you out if it only LOOKS like you might be doing something suspicious?

This is for a poll for a school project.

The school searched and accused a female student of being involved with and in possesion of drugs because she had been spotted ducking behind cars in the school parking lot while school was in session.
There was no reason other than pure speculation that she should have been accused of having anything to do with drugs.
Let me know what you think!!
Answer:
but did she have drugs? yes they should be able to

need i say more.

Suspicious activity warrants investigation.

Any search and seizure must have due cause. I have attended schools where they forced us to take our shoes off and empty the contents of our person on our desk. I can tell you now, I felt like I needed a warrant for what they were doing to us. I would say yes, with what you mentioned, but if it became abused I might go the otherway.

In light of what happened yesterday, YES!!! There is no GOOD reason to be ducking behind cars in the school parking lot when school is in session. Obviously she was up to something even if she was just skipping class.

If I were the school Police, I would check it out, just because she is a girl does not mean she is not doing something illegal or planning to do it, or maybe trying to skip, who knows. Yes, they do have a right to check it out as it is a suspicious situation, especially since school was still in session. They always shake you down for drugs in schools now days, and for good reasons. If you did nothing wrong, then why worry about it. By the way, what were you doing, just curious.

Maybe she was ducking bullets?!??! (sorry I just HAD to say that)

ZOMG! Yes! We all have to live in fear and panic from each other! (that was sarcasm BTW)

What your talking about is called Profiling. Sadly it is used as an excuse in alot of things.

Some examples ofr profiling are: All kids who wear black worship satan and do drugs. All intercity peoples smoke crack, all priest molest kids... the list goes on.

Profilling will NEVER stop. Speculation and conjecture will NEVER stop.

Such is life and you will just have to expect it. its UNFAIR yes, but speculation and profilng will never be stopped.
