I can see where cell phones can be pretty disruptive in a classroom.

I would hope that the teacher would start with "please turn your phone off and put it away while class is in session" Then if the kid didn't comply I think taking it away temporarily until the end of the day is appropriate. I don't agree with having to pay a fine to get it back.

So I need to refute your argument that a small (I'm gonna say 90 lbs, I think 70 was a bit low) high school girl with a cell phone can be just as dangerous as a 270 lbs. Dude with a gun?

What's she gonna do?

Use that cell phone to detonate an IED like they do in Iraq and Afghanistan?

I will be rather surprised if the girl's parents don't bring a civil lawsuit.

Sure he is, we're all assholes around here but at least Zeke doesn't lead with his chin, no offense intended.

Your point has validity but -- in today's society -- you don't get to be a human being in law enforcement.

That's why some folks get out of the job.

Can you prove she didn't have gun?

You, again, are out of your depth.

Against whom?

1. The school policy?
2. Enforcement of that policy?

The issue here is lack of compliance prior to and at the arrival of requested enforcement.
