They went on facebook, looked at our pictures to see if we were drinking/smoking and if there were pictures, we got in trouble. Lol?

Another good reason to not use Facebook

Did you get in trouble?

How is this fair... >_< Todays world i don't know

For one thing "UNLESS" the picture is of you on school grounds smoking/drinking/Doing drugs they HAVE the right you tell you off and slap your bums, but if you are off school grounds they have no right.

just do what i did when i went to school when teachers tried telling me off for doing tuff thats outside of school grounds and hours. "Tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine"

Thats why you make your facebook private?

How about: Don't put compromising pictures of yourself where everyone can access them? DUH?

I really don't see how that's low... The pictures are on the internet...

Obviously

That and if it's not on school grounds, they have no control over it.

That sounds ridiculous. I can't imagine them doing that at my school.

Nope, don't got facebook/myspace, just a lot of people I know got in trouble.

Ah, the wonders of "social networking".

How can they prove it's you?! :!

And these people are idiots if they still got in trouble and were not smoking/drinking on school grounds.

The school can get you in trouble for drinking underage... It IS after all illegal. All they'd have to do is notify the police, and you've got a hefty fine on your hands.

Only if they present the picture to the police.

And its possible that you could still get away with it even after an action like that.

Depending on your police department, I suppose.

Well, if your school has a "Student Handbook", it should state something about student privacy.

If they go online and look at that, you could get off with them invading your 'student privacy'.

It'd take a lot of manipulation of words (like lawyers do) and claims of invasion of personal privacy (on a constitutional scale if you really need it to be)

This.

Tis not hard.
