Private School Wins Major Victory Against Unreasonable Search by Cal/OSHA
We recently helped a private school in San Jose, CA, win a major victory against government overreach. During COVID restrictions, Cal/OSHA sought a search warrant based on a flimsy, anonymous complaint – the staff wasn’t wearing masks. With the warrant in hand, Cal/OSHA inspected the entire school.
For nearly 3 years, we challenged the legality of the search warrant, arguing it violated the school’s 4th Amendment protection against unreasonable searches. And we won! The appellate court not only dismissed all the evidence Cal/OSHA obtained, but also strongly criticized them for misleading the judge who issued the warrant in the first place.
