promote safety
By
Ralph Price, School Resource Officer
In my
opinion, we have the search of student
property in the Handbook for a reason.
Just one of the reasons would be for the
safety and security of students,
faculty, and employees here at the
school. If you think about why we have
no rights to privacy here the reason is
clear to me, but I do see things in a
different way than most people who have
not been on that side (police officer).
I know my opinion on this subject may be
one-sided because of my past. As long as
every one on campus knows that they are
subject to no privacy, i.e., in cars,
lockers, backpack, and person, this
should not be inappropriate for anyone
here at school.
I definitely feel this is necessary
because of the world we live in today. I
think bad things can happen anywhere,
anytime, and anyplace. With all this
said, I feel the school has rules in
place to make the school a place you can
work or learn and leave the things that
are going on in the world off campus and
feel safe doing it. |
