Opinion
May 21, 1996
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Mary Bednar, J.).
School officials conducted a proper search of respondent's bookbag, when they reasonably suspected that respondent had acquired a full fare bus pass instead of the half fare pass to which he was entitled. A full fare pass was missing and respondent gave incredible explanation of his inability to produce his half fare pass ( see, New Jersey v. T.L.O., 469 U.S. 325, 342; Matter of Gregory M., 82 N.Y.2d 588).
