Schools should need a warrant to search Lockers

Well, I really don't like this idea of debating you, but here goes- The constitution grants rights against unlawful search and seizure. The only way to legally search property is to get a warrant. The 4th amendment reads as follows- "Article [IV] (Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure) The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." This is the amendment that places the requirement a warrant. HOWEVER, the lockers are school property, however, in contrast, these lockers could be considered "Effects (being defined as "goods; movables; [or] personal property,http://dictionary.reference.com...) of the student because they are being used by the students. The laws that apply to rented property would then apply here."Most states have laws that cover permissible reasons for landlords to enter tenants' homes in the absence of the tenants' permission. They may do so when there's a true emergency, such as a fire or gas leak, and when it's clear that the rental has been abandoned. But a request by a police officer to enter a rented home, without more, is no justification for the landlord to turn over the keys. The same is true for hotel operators. Of course, if the police return with a warrant, that's another matter--just as the tenant cannot refuse entry, nor can the landlord."-http://www.nolo.com... Also, There are many reasons that it should be banned. Here are a few such reasons- The biggest drawback to a school locker search is the lack of trust students may feel as a result of actions they see as an invasion of privacy. Because students may keep personal items in their lockers, such as photographs and personal letters, even a search with the best intentions can appear to be a major breach of trust by teachers and administrators, causing a rift between the student body and the faculty. School locker searches may also run into any one of a number of legal issues. The actual legal status of a locker search will eventually depend on the reasons for suspecting a locker of containing dangerous or illegal contents and the presence or absence of a locker search policy known by students. If a student or her parents choose to take legal action against a school because of a locker search, a costly legal battle could follow. (http://classroom.synonym.com...) In legal situations, the school generally wins because the lockers are believed to be school property. That much is obvious. HOWEVER- If we were to go into why most school searches happen, it would be obvious- drugs. Recently (meaning today) there was a drug bust at my school. The dog barked over something, and every locker it was near (including mine) was searched. Nothing came up in any of these lockers. There are scratch marks on the lockers due to this search. Not one drug was found. On suspicion of smelling, at least 8 lockers were searched, and multiple students were questioned. Simply because a dog thought it smelled drugs. And with that, I turn the argument to Con.
