So, another NS member and I were at a school dance last night. Our school hires some private company ( http://www.k9resources.com/ ) to snoop around for drugs and alcohol at school events and during school hours. We saw them there, so we thought NBD we didn't do anything so we should be fine right? wrong. They called us out of the bathroom to do a random alcohol screening? They said that if we didn't comply we would be kicked out of the dance and suspended. So we did. it wasn't a breathalyzer, it was one of those strips that you lick. IT required us to sit for 15 minutes with k9 resources and our principal so our mouth gets all dry, and then lick the strip in front of everyone. It came out 0.0%, but I still feel like we were treated unfairly, as far as I know no other people were screened. (It is a private school if that makes a difference, they do what they want.)

im not worried, just kinda pissed

thanks

YES, under the 4th they can't do that...they can get in trouble legally....if you had said no and they did it any way......and all you had to do is say no you cant.

It's a private establishment, also at event's you can lose your 4th by entering, for example most sports game you give security the right to search you.

your rights are pretty much all taken away from you the second you step on campus, or the second you step on a site being used for a school activity. sounds really stupid, but definitely legal.

keyword private school. if it were public then they would have to get parental permission to do that. but because you signed a contract to go there, they do have a certain right perform those types of actions.

Whoops, I never finished that thought. Yes, this is perfectly legal since it involves a school.
