Question: Is it legal for a campus police officer to give a 13 year old a breathalyzer without contacting a parent first?

As someone from the UK, my answer is hold a prom or formal as we call them, that isn't orgainised by the school. Our pre-formals are all orgainsed but the sixth form committe, we go book out a night club for the night, but not through the school, so we can do anything we want because the school isn't involved (baring anything illegal because the police could still get us). The school still orgainses the formal, but you have to be over the legal drinking age to get onto it. And the teachers leave before every one gets drunk.
There was one incident where a parent phoned the night club during

I'm from Canada "eh". ive got a related question.. but it might not be able to be answered because of the differences in laws...
My question is... can a school teacher/principle legally make a student who is attending a special event such as prom.. take the breathalizer at the door? And can the student refuse... could anything legal be brought about on behalf of the student afterwards if they were kicked out?

I have came to school drunk before and they used a breathalizer test on me without my parents permission and I didn't care. I think they should be able to do it anyway with or without a parents consent because it is against the law for an underage person to drink alcohol.
