I stand before you in this court today to ask you to uphold the decision and majority opinion of Judge David Souter, from the majority opinion, Safford Unified School District, et al. , see April Redding, United States Supreme Court (June 25, 2009). In Safford Unified School District v. Redding, the issue brought to attention is whether a strip search is illegal or restricted by the 4th Amendment. In this case, thirteen-year-old April Redding was reported by an acquaintance of the vice principal of the middle school, Wilson, for having provided classmates with 400 mg of over-the-counter Ibuprofen and Naproxen; both anti-inflammatory painkillers. Due to the impression that Redding had distributed such pills, Wilson, with Redding's approval, searched his personal property. Wilson and an administrative assistant, Helen Romero, searched through Redding's backpack trying to find pills. They found nothing, so Wilson asked Romero to escort Redding to the nurse's office so she could be further searched. The nurse and Romero asked her to take off her clothes. This included Redding having to take off her bra to shake it so any pills would fall out; as well as removing the elastic from her underwear for the same purpose. However, no pill has been identified. During this event, Redding's mother was never contacted or informed of what was happening. Redding's mother filed a lawsuit against the school district, alleging that her daughter's 4th Amendment rights were violated as a result of the illegal search conducted. Wilson, Romero and the school nurse were granted qualified immunity by the court, which meant they were somewhat protected from liability. Although the court found that there was no infringing evidence... halfway through the document... especially when the search took place. Furthermore, since the call to the police was made in New Jersey v. TLO, the police should have been contacted in Safford Unified School District v. Redding. School administrators should know the limits of their abilities, which are not about law enforcement, but about education. Once again, I ask that you uphold the decision of Justice David Souter, of the majority opinion, Safford Unified School District, et al., v . April Redding, United States Supreme Court (June 25, 2009), why Redding's 4th Amendment rights were violated, especially because there was never enough evidence. I agree with Judge David Souter and believe that there should never be a time when middle school students are searched for the purpose of finding drugs because it is prohibited by the 4th Amendment. If there is suspicion of such an incident, the police should be involved.
