Schools have the authority to conduct searches, but they must follow the law. In public schools, student searches are governed by the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.

That sounds like a serious case of overreach and potential misconduct. If the police seized your belongings without a valid reason and then sold your car without proper legal justification, you may have grounds for legal action. Wrongful seizure and the lack of due process could violate your... View More
