"法學英文：New Jersey v. T. L. O., 469 U.S. 325; 105 S. Ct. 733 (1985)."

"本院裁決美國憲法增修條文第四條適用於校方人員進行的搜索行為，只是探究規範此類搜索之標準的起點。雖然美國憲法增修條文第四條基本上規定搜索和扣押必須合理，但是何謂「合理的搜索和扣押」，是必須依據進行搜索或扣押行為的整體情況予以判定。判定規範任一特定搜索類型之「合理性」標準，需要對搜索之必要性和搜索造成之侵擾加以衡平。天平的一端是個人合理期待的隱私和人身安全，天平的另一端則是以有效方法處理違反公共秩序行為的政府需求。To hold that the Fourth Amendment applies to searches conducted by school authorities is only to begin the inquiry into the standards governing such searches. Although the underlying command of the Fourth Amendment is always that searches and seizures be reasonable, what is reasonable depends on the context within which a search takes place. The determination of the standard of reasonableness governing any specific class of searches requires balancing the need to search against the invasion which the search entails. On one side of the balance are arrayed the individual's legitimate expectations of privacy and personal security; on the other, the government's need for effective methods to deal with breaches of public order."
