New Jersey v. T.L.O., 469 U.S. 325 (1985) was a case appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1984, involving the search of a high school student for contraband after she was caught smoking.

VERY briefly: Girl caught smoking at school - vice-principal searches purse to take possession of the cigarette pack - finds drug paraphernalia in plain view in the purse - leading to the reasonable belief that her locker might contain drugs - school administrators search her locker and find drugs - school administrators call police who arrest her.

Supreme Court upheld the arrest and subsequent conviction. The laws of search and seizure do not apply to civilians, and law enforcement did not enter the picture until AFTER the school personnel, acting in good faith, had already found the contraband leading to her arrest and conviction.
