Best Answer

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.
