College Searches without warrents.

How come police are allowed to enter college dorms and apartments without a warrant despite the fact that the Supreme Court ruled that suspicion of underage drinking is not sufficient to enter a property without a warrant?

It depends on the specifics of a particular incident. Perhaps someone called to report the drinking?

Nobody can speculate on such an overly broad question. If you want an answer of some kind, please explain what your situation is.

[garrula lingua]

When you signed the lease for the dorm, did you agree to allow entry ?

 

[outonbail]

What makes you think that every time the police enter dorms or apartments, that the only reason they do so, is because of a suspicion that underage drinking is taking place?

(Aside from the fact that underage drinking goes on,,, 24-7)

People who don't read the terms of the lease they're signing are often not aware that they are technically acknowledging that the person who owns the building can give consent to a search of your living space. Not all apartments have such a clause. Most dorms do.
