Members Beasleyboy Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 I got my phone taken up today by my 2nd period teacher, my first offense in the 3 years I've been at my high school. My school is making me pay $15 bucks to get my phone back (this is just the first offense, they can keep it for a long time after multiple offenses). The cell phone policy is also stated in the student handbook which I signed and agreed to at the beginning of the year. The whole idea of paying my hard earned money to the school to get MY property back kind of makes me . 5th amendment? Safety Hazard (like if I was mugged or in a car crash and didn't have my phone because of the school)? Anything? Can I talk my way out of paying this $15? Or am I just screwed and fork over the 15 bucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Beasleyboy Posted April 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 Public school = government "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." It's a stretch...a BIG stretch...but I'm just thinking of ways to not pay the $15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see what you are even thinking about trying for? I mean, you broke a rule and made it apparent with incriminating evidence. What are you trying for?
