The Supreme Court has held that students enjoy less constitutional protections while on school property. Lockers are school property and thus do not require a warrant to search. As for a students person, they must have probable cause. A students witness statement may not be enough to justify a search of a student. However, a camera placing you in the area when something was stolen could certainly justify a search for the stolen objects (contraband). As for drugs, if you appear intoxicated or are behaving in a suspect manner, this too may be probable cause to search you for any kind of narcotics.
