Research when police have the right to search your house, vehicle, person, etc. When do police need a search warrant and when don't they? Please give me information about what can be used as evidence from a search and what can't.

While in school, students can have their lockers and cars searched. Do you agree with this policy, why or why not? You should be able to come up with about 3/4 of a page of information.
