I would find it hilarious to hear one day of a story in which a student has taken a school to court and won over an incident like this.

Yeah I find it really unfair too, I'd say around half the teachers tend to turn a blind eye or just discretely say "put it away or it'll be confiscated", to which people usually do..
but they have no right to take property tbh. To the end of the day, fine.. but the thing is most of the time people have their phones taken when they're in the canteen before school hours, like they're not even in a lesson...
