T.L.O. was a high school student. During a school 'incident' (smoking in the girls bathroom, I believe) her purse was searched and a small amount of marijuana, a pipe, empty plastic bags, a significant amount of money in one-dollar bills, a list of students who owed T.L.O. money, and letters implicating T.L.O. in dealing marijuana were found in her purse.
The police were notified and she was arrested and charged.
Her defense was that the search was unlawful, the evidence seized was 'fruit of the poisoned tree,' and her resultant prosecution and conviction should be invalid.
The US Supreme Court ruling upheld New Jersey in the case.

I think criminal since it involved marijuana, I was looking or the answer. I would vote criminal.
The New Jersey v TLO ruling limits the Fourth Amendment rights of students by stating that only a reasonable suspicion is required for a school official to search a student. Probable cause is a stronger standard for a search than a reasonable suspicion. By:Miltorious Britton
Mapp v. Ohio and Terry v. Ohio YES ITS IS BUT NOT REALLY, ITS THE CASE HELD IN SCHOOL WHERE TEACHERS SEARCHED HER WITHOUT ANY LEGAL NOTICE CALLED AS "PROBABLE CAUSE".
because it placed where students rights stood. so did tinker v. des moines, i think but this one was about the 4th amendment and about whether students were allowed to have certain constitutional rights at school>
amendment 4 of the constitution: privacy rights
