Question about california laws reguarding personal belongings being searched?

Question

When someone is searching through your personal stuff [my purse] at work, during a check at the end of the night, is it against the law for them to reach inside my purse and move all the stuff around, and unzip the zippers? I know that they can look in it, and shift it from the bottom, but I have never had anyone reach in my bag and go through every part of my purse, not even at the airport.

Answer 1

As long as you are present when it happens. They don't have the right if you are not present.Also make sure you have a witness present. If anything is broken they are responsible for fixxing or a new one.
