They did something similar to us when I was in high school 10 +/- 2 years ago. While it was never expressly stated that there was a shooter or something on campus, we were put into what they called a "lockdown mode" where no one could leave class that was [supposedly] designed for the purpose of when there would be someone on campus there wasn't supposed to be, etc. They would call them drills afterwards, but we would see drug dogs walking down the halls occasionally.
This...EXACTLY. If I recall, this was right around 9/11 and a lot of those school shootings, etc. "Lockdown" mode was ridiculous and we all knew/saw the local PD sweep the halls with their dogs. Also the same time when all our school started getting "School Officers"...like a member of the PD that JUST works in the school.
First time they EVER did this lockdown BS at my school, I happen to be sitting in classroom right across from my locker. I hear commotion outside the class (cant see anything, door is locked, etc)...THEN dogs barking and scratching metal. THEN a knock on the class door: "Excuse me, is Mr. jsherloc in this classroom, we need to speak with him immediately" says our school VP at the time.
Long story short, dogs went crazy at my locker, have to stand there while principal and cops search my shit. I was smart enough even back then to NEVER bring anything onto school campus, but my bookbag I'm sure had a nice aroma for the dogs to go on. I actually ended up OWNING the principal/vp at the time as they made a huge ass deal parading me around the school basically, calling parents, etc. Funny looking back sitting in the office with 3 DEA douchbags, my dad, the local PD, and the principal.
I wasnt even smoking that consistently at the time, I denied everything and actually told my dad to take me to get tested, as they were all being dickheads "we know you smoked this morning, just admit it...who are you buying it from?" the police chief was sitting there actually saying i was being an asshole immature kid and didn't know the effects of marijuana like he did. LOL seriously classic shit. i was fucking pissed, and my dad was even getting pissed i could tell...they were just being assholes straight up.
i end up leaving school, PASSING a urine test (def had to have been CLOSE as a mofo seriously..luckily i was a skinny shit running 5 times a week then too), bring the urine sample BACK into school at the end of the day and laid it on the principals desk like a boss.
needless to say, after speaking with both the vp and the principal and listening to them apologize endlessly for their accusations and the DEA/PD name calling, interogatting, harassing, marching me through the halls and cafeteria, etc.....
I WAS UNTOUCHABLE THE LAST TWO YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL....and I loved every minute of it. :cool2:
also, if i recall, they were much more "careful" about how they did these drills after that event, as it basically blew up in their face.
