The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the strip search of a 13-year-old student violated the constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure.

The court ruled 8-1 that Arizona school officials violated Savana Redding's Fourth Amendment rights when they searched her down to her bra and underpants. Officials were looking for pain relievers, which they didn't find.

However, the court also softened the potential blow by ruling the individual officials who oversaw Redding's search couldn't be held personally liable.

I think if anyone should be held liable for the strip search it would be the officials who performed it and not the school system. They must have known what they were doing to the kid wasn't reasonable by any stretch. I don't like lawsuits based on anything but I really hope the poor girl gets some kind of compensation for what happened. At that age you useully aren't comfortable with your body and having a bunch of adults search you must make things a few times worse.

So what do you think?

No. Back when I was in HS, I graduated in 08. All you had to was just tell the school police that somebody had drugs they'll go search the kid.

I never took advantage of that.

I'd like to see who the one person who thought this was okay was so we can see who is crazy enough to think this is the right thing to do.

Surpreme Court of California is forcing San Diego to issue Medial Marijuana Cards. I wonder if a student comes on campus with this card and a few ounces of weed in their pocket because it was used as a pain reliever what would happen?

Arrest because Arizona is not a place in California.

Strip searched for ibuprofen.

Someone at that school needs to be taken out back.
Next time, try looking for a REAL illegal drug.

Why can't those who did it be held liable?

Technically you own yourself, so you are your own private property, so they had no right to strip search her, unless they had a warrant.
They could however search her locker, if they had probable cause, since that is located on school grounds, but cannot search any of here private things in her locker, such as a purse ect.

They punted that question down to the lower court for decision. So I guess they still can be found liable.
