Inventory searches are typically conducted without the need for probable cause or reasonable suspicion, as they are intended to catalog an individual's belongings for safety and security reasons when property is impounded. However, law enforcement must still adhere to established procedures to ensure these searches are not conducted as a pretext for uncovering evidence of a crime. The key is that the search must be standardized and follow established protocols. Therefore, while reasonable suspicion is not required, the search must be conducted in good faith as part of routine inventory procedures.

In which situation would the Tinker v. Des Moines Supreme Court decision applyA teacher searches a boy’s locker without his permission due to reasonable suspicion?
The Tinker v. Des Moines Supreme Court decision, which established the right of students to free speech in public schools, would apply in the situation where a teacher searches a boy's locker without his permission if the teacher had reasonable suspicion (a standard that requires specific and articulable facts that, taken together with rational inferences, would lead a reasonable person to believe that a search would uncover evidence of a violation of law or school policy) that the student was violating school policies or engaging in illegal activity. According to the decision, school officials can only limit student speech or conduct if it causes a substantial disruption (a significant interference with the normal functioning of a school) to the educational process or invades the rights of others. In the case of a locker search, the reasonable suspicion standard allows school officials to act when there is evidence that the search is necessary to maintain a safe and orderly school environment. However, even with reasonable suspicion, the Supreme Court has emphasized that the scope of the search must be narrowly tailored (limited in scope and extent to what is necessary to achieve its purpose) to achieve its purpose and must not be excessively intrusive (violating the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures). The exact parameters of what constitutes reasonable suspicion and the extent of permissible searches may vary depending on the circumstances of each case.
