This officer was within his jurisdiction since this is public property.

Listen once again - he is a cop in ANOTHER CITY. He lives in the city in question where he entered the school but is a cop ELSEWHERE. THAT is what jurisdiction means.

Specifically, Mott disputes Anderson’s claim that he “banged on the front door” of the high school to get the attention of night custodian Arnold Cliche, and that Cliche opened the door and let him in.

No problem here... if the custodian let him in... Fire the custodian if you have a problem.

According to Mott, he entered the school through an unlocked maintenance door, found Cliche and asked him to unlock the door to Treece’s classroom room so he could take photographs with his personal camera.

I dont see a problem here either... the door to a public facility was unlocked and the custodian voluntarily unlocked the classroom. Any private citizen may have done the same thing as a member of the community.

There is no case here for the teacher to grasp onto... The officer was within his jurisdiction whether as an officer or as a member of that community. If the officer had tried to make an arrest based on the information he collected here then there would be an issue.

and as an aside...

condescension (n)

1: the trait of displaying arrogance by patronizing those considered inferior [syn: superciliousness, disdainfulness]

2: a communication that indicates lack of respect by patronizing the recipient

So dirtboy, 'ditch' (no pun intended) the attitude or direct your posts to ALL so they dont show up in my queue.
