Before You Search that Locker.
Dowling-Sendor, Benjamin
American School Board Journal, v185 n4 p24-25 Apr 1998
In DesRoches v Caprio, federal district court ruled in favor of Jim DesRoches who had decided not to consent to a search of his backpack for a pair of allegedly stolen sneakers. Judge Robert G. Doumar decided the need to find the stolen sneakers did not outweigh the students' privacy interest and offered guidelines about school searches for stolen property. (MLF)
