Hello
My daughter was reported to school security for possible drug violation (under the influence). She was taken to security and searched on her person and her back pack. Nothing was found, Next the school police officer was called in to check her out. The best he could say was that her eyes were slightly dilated compared to his little pocket chart. This was not enough reason for him to arrest her or bring any action against her. At this point the school security took it upon them self's to search her car, then took away her phone without her permission and proceeded to go thru her text messages' and pics. called two of her friends and brought them in for questioning. At lunch se was not allowed to go get food or drink, and none was brought to here. She was further detained for over two hours before the school principal told them to charge her or let her go. during this time they continued to interrogate her and never once called me or my wife to let us know she was being questioned for drugs.
it is my opinion that the security officers (not police) over stepped there authority. What legal if any actions are available to me and my daughter? If any.
I understand the school has the right to search with a reason if need be, however once the police officer signed off on it that should have been it.
