Teacher Spying on Student During Virtual Class Sends Cops to Search 11-Year-Old's Home After Spotting a BB Gun

 

Just a reminder what happens when you invite the state into your house, another dystopian hazard of COVID related remote home schooling.

sorry no warrant, no entry.

I think teachers were included in the reporting part of the red flag bills that have been going around. Red flags seems to get no knock warrants without any trouble.

 

Yes in Maryland, teachers are included in people that can file for ERPO. So it sounds like in this case that the police did not have any order or warrant, given that she had every right to not let them in the house.

“The officers that responded were appalled at the call and even commended the set-up that my son has for his toys and commended him also on his respect and understanding of the BB guns,” Sperry wrote on Facebook.

Sperry asked the principal why the issue couldn’t have been handled privately by phone rather than sending the police. “He said that was not their policy,” she said."

A private phone call isn't school policy. Sadly, being without common sense apparently is.

This is an evolution from the mandatory reporting of child abuse for school officials. Since talking to parents first can't be a first resort for abuse, it ends up not being a first resort for anything. The unions generally like to keep things simple, with a single point of contact for everything

I understand it when there's legitimate suspicion of child abuse. This is light years away from that. Not arguing with you. Just saying.

If it's a public school, they probably have qualified immunity.

Since it is a public school with government funded employees a 1983 civil rights lawsuit would conceivable.

 

A 1983 suit requires that someone actually be deprived of rights. In this case, no legal actions were taken. The mother consented to the search.

It was the school staff that violated the 4th and 5th amendment rights by spying in the first place.

This is all related to the utter stupidity of so-called "zero tolerance" rules. Teachers and others in schools do not want to have to make judgments which might later prove to be mistaken and for which they might be justly blamed or accused of not using what little brains they possess. So anything that remotely seems to fall under "zero tolerance" gives the teacher the cover for reporting it to the police or other authorities as appropriate without fear of being recognized as an idiot devoid of common sense and mature adult thinking. This is how a child is suspended from school for biting into a Pop Tart that results in what the teachers thinks is the shape of a gun. This is how a school is placed on lock down, and the SWAT teams called in when a 22lr shell casing is found on the sidewalk outside an elementary school in NYC some years ago. When this type of thinking is not only encouraged, but demanded, a teacher seeing a gun, even if only a BB gun or a toy gun, will feel that they have no choice but to react as if the kid is holding a loaded Thompson submachine gun while seated in the classroom. And in today's insane politically correct climate, the teacher making such a stupid decision will be praised for their diligence, not condemned for their idiocy.

Did not spy. Homeowner logged in to video chat.

The level of cope bootlickers are on to pretend were not spiraling out of control to a dystopian hellhole.

 

What happens lockdown 2.0 when attendance via video chat will be part of state mandated public home school attendance?
