The school cop at my school made this girl I know get down to her underwear because someone told him that she had weed on her. Is he allowed to do that? she agreed to it from ignorance from rights so he probably couldn't get in trouble for it but would it be justifiable to do if she didn't consent to doing it?
This is a rather old news story but it was a scandal at the time. maybe you can gleen something from reading it.

G-string Sting ©
It was early twilight just south of the land of the beautiful people. Everyone was getting ready for the big event. It was prom night and all the teens had finally put away their “getting a date” anxiety, ready to put the past behind them and party hardy.
The teachers were preparing, too, especially one particular administrator who was determined to set the uppity teens in their place. Prom night was not a moment that would descend into barbaric delirium, if she had anything to do with it. Things would be in proper order, starting from the bottom up.
Rita Wilson, Rancho Bernardo assistant principal and administrator from hell, was on a mission. No student’s underwear would go unchecked.
Ready. Set. Launch the G-string sting.
Never have the rights of teens, especially of teen girls, been so obliterated. But then again, minors have no rights, especially where conservatives are concerned.
As the young girls stood in line, Ms. Wilson, the newest crone of the Conservative Cliterati, asked the girls if they were wearing thong underwear. If they replied in the affirmative, off they went, sent home to change their impure panties. The dry old crone even lifting a teen’s dress to peek and prove there was indeed exposed cheek.
See, once upon a prom night, a young girl had twirled around in her high heels letting her dress fly up around her waist, exposing the fact that she was bare beneath.
This must never happen again.
So, in full public view, Ms. Wilson exposed the very tender, pink flesh the school was intending to keep covered by insisting on full briefs, no thongs.
I get it.
"It was a violation of these kids' privacy, and very embarrassing for kids at that age," said Cindy Chappell, whose 16-year-old daughter complained that her bra was exposed while Wilson examined her tube top. The student said she was asked whether the tube top was attached to her bra. After answering, the student said, Wilson grabbed her tube top and yanked it down, exposing most of her bra. "I felt embarrassed because there were about 50 people standing around," Chappell's daughter said. "I didn't think I had done anything wrong."

Coast to coast there is a jihad against minors, coming from the conservative corners of this land, led by scared adults. Whether it’s dissing Britney Spears look alikes or teen girls who just want to express themselves freely, even in their most private choices like what underwear they wear, adults are refusing the reality of teen free will.
Whether we like it or not, this is no longer “Leave it to Beaver’s” world, and nothing we do will turn back the clock.
Thank God!
Few modern women want to go back to the 1950s, and even those deluded girls who think times were better back in the good old days, don’t actually know what they’re talking about. Because the truth has been obscured by rose colored glasses, which have been strapped on with super glue in order to hide the reality of life back in mom’s day.
The truth is that teens have a strong sexual persona long before parents are usually ready for it, which blooms around puberty. This doesn’t mean that teens are ready to navigate their sexuality or make deep decisions about sex. But the situations present themselves today, regardless of preparedness, with a teen's curiosity and willingness to explore their sexual persona very strong. No adult can impede this urge successfully by attempting to squash it or lecture it out of existence.
Whether it’s abstinence-only teaching, denying teens access to health care without their parents’ permission, or lecturing girls about the right way to dress, we are not going to solve the challenges of the modern, liberated teen generations by telling them what they “should” be doing or by attempting to scare them into staying virginal.
A good example is HR476, the Child Custody Protection Act, which the House recently passed, but which the Senate isn't buying. This bill would basically make criminals of anyone transporting a minor over the state lines for an abortion, without a parent’s consent, including grandma and grandpa.
No one doubts that parents have significant and important rights when it comes to their children, but the sad fact is that many teen girls feel ostracized by their parent’s, especially mom’s, old-fashioned beliefs and judgments, so they simply will not go to her even when they’re in desperate trouble.
The onslaught of young teen sex and the outbreak of “oral sex parties” in high school, are subjects that parents, especially mothers, find distasteful and “alarming.” This alarm, when experienced by a teen girl, transposes to judgment about her choices, which she feels are fine. The generation gap widens, with communication shutting down.
No one is pretending that teens or pre-pubescent young people are ready for what the modern world whirls at them daily. No one is saying that early sexual contact is an ideal adventure for minors, either. But speaking to the next generations as if the 21st century hadn’t dawned is not going to produce more responsible or moral teens.
In a country where abstinence-only is the mantra of the powerful, what can a young girl or boy do when they’re living a reality that has nothing to do with what the grown ups are preaching and ramming down their throats?
When they feel they are not being listened to or respected, teens will just clam up, do what they want, as they are left to navigate a hostile world without guidance.
We’re never going to reach and engage, let alone affect, the next generations until we start respecting the reality that individuals mature and evolve much faster today than ever before.
It would be a good idea to respect young people and engage them, not be afraid of their budding sexuality and enormous charisma, which shows itself way before legal age, which is an arbitrary marker legislated by law, having no roots in actual modern, human or sexual development.
But then, that would mean that adults would have to be self assured about their own sexual personas and sexuality, which is hardly the case. That’s why we have adults mandating behavior from on high, and teens pandering to their parents with what they know mom and dad want to hear, instead of telling them the real facts of their life.
After all, what’s the point in talking about sex with someone whom you believe is scared of it, denies it, or thinks that sex outside marriage is the way to hell. That’s so 20th century, man! And there’s not a modern teen that will buy that rhetorical crap, though that doesn’t stop the conservatives from hawking it ad nauseam, even if they end up doing far more damage than good.
