Two students were caught smoking in a high school bathroom. One admitted to smoking and selling marijuana, while the other denied smoking. This second student was later charged and claimed the school violated her Fourth Amendment rights by searching her without a warrant. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled 6-3 that the school's search was acceptable and did not violate the student's Fourth Amendment rights, and the student was sentenced to one year probation.
