Student Arrested For Classroom Texting 1246
A 14-year-old Wisconsin girl was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after she refused to stop texting during a high school math class. The girl denied having a phone when confronted by a school safety officer, but a female cop found it after frisking her. The Samsung Cricket was recovered "from the buttocks area" of the teenager, according to the police report. The girl was banned from school property for a week, and is scheduled for an April 20 court appearance for a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. I applaud the adults involved for their discretion and temperance in this heinous case of texting without permission.

"from the buttocks area"
Sounds more like an anus case.

Hmm, this "phone in the butt" story appeared just after the bar of soap [slashdot.org] phone story... cue jokes about bending over.

Good move! Save time for the important things in life, like self-indulgent narration of things you didn't do.

As for having the police arrest a teenager with a phone in their ass, I think their options were pretty limited. Rational people don't put phones in their ass outside of hostage situations so talking them down doesn't seem practical. Allowing a student to keep a phone in their ass doesn't seem like a good idea and going after it seems worse.

If I had to fish a cellphone out of someone's "buttocks area" I'd want to arrest them too.

I applaud their decision to opt out of education. We need to nurture people like this. We should provide them with additional distractions beyond their phone. Once they've shown a disinterest in education and the disdain for authority to go with it, we should issue them a portable game unit and a headset.
