As a general rule in the U.S., school officials may conduct, without a warrant, student’s lockers, students, or random areas only on reasonable suspicion.

Same scenario….except….   You have graduated and are now a teacher at LSU!  Congratulations!    However, your spouse has gotten into a little trouble with the FDIC and, therefore, the FBI as well as local law enforcement.  In addition to searching your house today (you didn’t know that yet though), local and FBI authorities show up without a warrant and want to search your LSU computer.   NEW part:  the cops also wanna search your purse!!!????   Can they do that, legally???? TRUE = Yes FALSE = No

As a general rule, warrant searches of private residences by statute are executed during daylight hours.  But!  Can a judge authorize a nighttime search?   TRUE = Yes FALSE = No

With reference to electronic surveillance of citizens and their property, one of the choices below had a provision that was set to expire December 31, 2005.  This earlier law set to expire was called a “Sunset” provision (12/31/2005).  Which law am I telling you about?  Choose below to, hopefully, find the right answer.

You are certified state peace officer in roll call for the night shift, which is from 11 pm until 7 am.  The Sergeant is giving information for all the beats and assigns you to Beat 4.  As you are assigned to Beat 4, the Sergeant tells you that there have been seven break-ins reported in your area in home owner’s garages during the past week.  The fear, beside the loss of property, is that the “garage burglar” may morph into home burglaries.  Sarge tells you that several garage burglary victims gave a description of a slender white male with “scraggly long blonde hair” and that all incidents transpired between 2 and 4 am. While on patrol in the area the Sarge mentioned at 2:45 am, you notice a slender white male with blonde hair standing on a corner sitting on a bicycle.  Do you have enough “reasonable suspicion” to stop this individual under Terry? TRUE = Yes FALSE = No

The test which determines whether reasonable suspicion exists for a Terry stop is _______________________________________________.
