Expert Solution
Supreme court decision

Yes i agree with the supreme court's decision

Because, i think that the search made by the school officials was not justified at its inception because the school teachers had no reason to believe that T.L.O.’s purse and locker contained any evidence of drugs and criminal activity or a violation of  any rules of school  at the time when he searched it. Thus, the search was violation of fourth amendment.
