Can a NY high school search a student’s car without a warrant? ?

We Answered:

As long as your parked on school property and they have probable cause then they can search it without a warrant. Its unlikely they would do this though unless it was suspected that there was something potentially harmful (guns, bombs, etc) inside the car. And its likely you would be notified first as they would prefer you just to unlock the car.

Probable cause can be if someone reports to the officer or the principal that there is something in the car. It would in most cases have to be reported by a few people - not just one. But yes if a rumor seems valid (ie. people say they've seen it inside your car) then a rumor can do it. In conclusion - if you have stuff you don't want found in your car; take it off school property. As long as its on their property they can search it for very little reason.
