Who won the case of New Jersey v TLO?

Answer 1

The result is that Administratirs and teachers can now search you if they think you are breaking the law or school rules. If you walk by smelling like pot, they will probably search you for pot.

Answer 2

New Jersey v. T.L.O., 469 US U.S. 325 (1985) was a case appealed to the US Supreme Court in 1984, involving the search of a high school student for contraband after she was caught smoking. A subsequent search of her purse revealed drug paraphernalia, marijuana, and documentation of drug sales. She was charged as a juvenile for the possession of drugs and paraphernalia found in the search. She fought the search, claiming it violated her Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches. The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, held that the search was reasonable under the fourth Amendment.

Answer 3

New Jersey won because the US Supreme Court dropped the standard for school searches from "probable cause" to "reasonable suspicion," and determined that T.L.O.'s Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment constitutional rights had not been violated by the search because the search and seizure laws do not apply to civilians in the same way they apply to law enforcement.
