Like a previous poster said, while students enjoy 4th Amendment protections,they are balanced by the schools responsibility to provide a safe environment. Teachers can search a student if they have reasonable suspicion they would find evidence of a crime. The search just needs to be reasonable.

This case is very interesting though. I am curious if law enforcement obtained a warrant to search the cellphone after the school made them aware of the incident.

This is the kind of case that could go all the way up.

Damn. I wonder what is defined as "under-age pornography" in this case? I mean, if some girls around his age sent him nudes, I don't think that should be against the law. Of course what I think and what is... Are two different things, but I should say.. I didn't realize that was against the law.

Now if this kid had pictures of younger kids.. That's a whole different story, but this is interesting.

How many of those photos were from one of his teachers?

I know the kid. Very well.
The phone was taken because of the fight. Not sure how they got around that legally. But the girls were 14ish. Kid just turned 15. Haven't heard of any of the girls in trouble for sending them. Which is pure BS.
Unless he was sending them out to other kids, this is a ridiculous thing to have happen to a kid.

Probable cause much?

Try again there slick- schools do not operate on probable cause. They are legally required to exercise reasonable suspicion. Any reasonable person would suspect that a kid reportedly seen with a cell phone taking video during a fight did in fact film minors against their consent. Especially troubling if in a locker room.

Can schools confiscate and search items that belong to students? Yes if they have reasonable suspicion, which is different from probable cause for police. LINK The teacher, principal, school security guard, or administrator may search the person of a student or his personal effects when, based on the attendant circumstances at the time of the search, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the search will reveal evidence that the student has violated the law, a school rule, or a school board policy. Such a search shall be conducted in a manner that is reasonably related to the purpose of the search and not excessively intrusive in light of the age or sex of the student and the nature of the suspected offense.
