Question 1

An employee's workstation, locker, or city-owned car may be searched at any time, with or without the employee's knowledge, according to city regulation. An employee of the city has reported that the elected City Controller was seen smoking marijuana behind the city building and putting a baggie containing a green leafy substance in his desk about an hour ago. As a result of this report, Officer Randall is asked by his supervisor to search the City Controller's desk. Officer Ryan presented the secretary with a documented copy of the city policy when she refused to permit the search on behalf of the City Controller. The City Controller was on a job site checking a city-owned warehouse when the secretary contacted him. He gave the secretary instructions to decline the search because he is an elected politician. Officer Randall pushed his way through the City Controller's desk, past the secretary. Nothing suspicious was discovered. The event resulted in the secretary breaking her arm. The city worker who complained to the city controller was well known to harbor strong feelings against the city controller because he had fired him the month before for being late.
