Chapter+5



Summary: April, 1980 a girl named Ruth Cales was caught outside of school. When the school security caught her outside of school-grounds he questioned her. As a result she was sent to the principal’s office. The principal had suspicion that she holding illegal durg sustances. The principal decided to apply a full cavity search, a female was doing it (Ruth Cales wasn't touched). When the search was over the Principal didn't find any drugs, but Cales did broke school rules. The trial for Cale's action would proceed in court.

This is the violation of the fourth ammendament, the school had no rights to search her unless, they had solid evidence that she indeed contain illegal drug substances. The staff of Howell Public School went through her purse, her pockets, even her bra. To me it sounds like invasion of pivacy. Even though if they wanted to search Cale, atleast the staff of Howell Public School should of gotten the consent from Cales' parent/guardian.

Partner's work:

In, April 1980, Ruth cales was caught possessing drugs. Ruth Cales was skipping school and tried to avoid the security guards. When she was caught Cales lied about her name and was sent to the principal's office. She was searched at her brassier by an assistant principal. Ruth wasn't charged for drug possesscion. The assistant principal and staff of Howell Public school won't be left safe from this case and and maybe brought to trial.

The ammendment that the case pertains is ammendment 4 because the staff of the Howell Public schools had searched Ruth Cales brassiere. The staff of the school didn't even get a warrant allowing them to search Ruth but just did it without the consent of Ruth or her family. They didn't care about the ammendment when they broke it by searching Ruth
