Is a search conducted by police at the request of a school official illegal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Alexander B., In re, 220 Cal.App.3d 1572, 270 Cal.Rptr. 342 (Cal. App. 1990):
1 Since the search of appellant and his companions was undertaken by police at the request of a school official, we need not consider the appropriate standard for assessing the legality of searches undertaken by school officials at the behest of police. (See New Jersey v. T.L.O., supra, 469 U.S. at p. 341, fn. 7, 105 S.Ct. at p. 743, fn. 7.)
