how is seizure of property ok if it's a knife?

[/ QUOTE ]

i responded to that already. if the property does not present a threat of harm it is fine...

if it presents a threat then the owner does not have the same rights. if it is actually used to inflict physical harm then it is even more imperitive that action is taken against the owner.


this is very very obvious stuff.

So a cell phone camera that can take upskirt photos of 12 year old girls presents no threat of harm?

Here we go again......

This is a crime and should be treated as such.

Thought crimes are not (yet) crimes, nor are "potential" crimes.

It's school. It is reasonable for parent to believe that the school provides a safe environment for their child. This includes emotional as well as physical safety.

Being able to prevent something that is reasonably foreseeable (adolescents taking unwanted pictures of other students) is not being the thought police, it's accepting responsibility for the minors that are under your control.

Our district has a zero tolerance policy on bullying. This includes 3 people teasing the kid with braces or glasses. That policy is in place to prevent much worse things from happening. I'm sure this is unacceptable to you because it prevents the students from expressing their 1st Amendment rights of free speech.
