Based on information received that a disgruntled student was "planning something big" at school in retaliation for being treated poorly by a fellow group of students,
school administrators called into Smithton High School with bomb-sniffing dogs and proceeded to have the dogs sniff all of the lockers. The dog alerted on the locker of student Patti Smith and the principal opened her locker and found an ounce of marijuana. Smith has moved to suppress the marijuana on the basis that the school conducted an unlawful search. You are the judge. Should you grant or deny Smith's motion? Explain your answer fully.
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Answers may vary: Smith's motion will not win. Students have a lower expectation of privacy in school, the threats to school safety are taken seriously, and a dog alert is not a search.
