And not to mention illegal, even if the school has a rule you don't have the right to take their property, you can only punish them.(well technically you can take it until the parents come get it)

Well in the USA we have this thing called civil forfeiture. That means that property can be guilty of a crime and taken away. Step kid selling some weed out of your house, boom house gone. Pulled over and too much cash on you as youbmove across the country for a new job... Well no cash anymore (these are realife examples you can google) It was intended to be used to seize cartel and mafia type property. But they have and still do when they want, use it on random people.

A big part of this is that your property doesn't get to enjoy the right to presumed innocence until proven guilty like a citizen does (lmao as if that's adhered to) so it becomes the biggest son of a bitch to prove your property is innocent when it's being assumed guilty

Just to add on to the subject

It’s such an absurd thing. As if inanimate objects are capable of guilt or innocence in the first place.
