Can a 17 year old be questioned by police while under the influence of drug in Florida?

Define "questioned by police." The circumstances and situation needs to be known before a knowledgeable answer can be given. Were you simply spoken to while on the street and not in custody? Were you taken into custody and formally questioned as a result of your arrest? What?

Can a minor be questioned at school without parent present in North Carolina?

They have the ability to waive their Miranda rights, but if they ask for their parents it is the same as asking for a lawyer, and from then on a parent must be present.Another View: Please define "questioned."If you are referring to a School Resource Officer (SRO) simply speaking with a student while on the school grounds, it most certainly IS allowed. The situation might change only if the juvenile/student was actually in custody, or being questioned as a suspect in an offense. Then a parent/guardian or school administrator should be present to act as, not only a resource for the minor, but as a witness for the officers actions.


Was the man called Leather Apron Jack The Ripper?

Without a doubt he was not. The man known as Leather Apron was a local shoemaker named John Pizer. When panick was at its highest anyone that wore a leather apron or used a knife in his line of work could very likely become a Ripper suspect. This is exactly what happened to Pizer. After being questioned and then released by the police the public decided Pizer had to be the Ripper and had the man not run and hid he most likely would have been strung up by the crowd. For quite a while after being questioned, Pizer had to stay out of sight for his own safety.


A16year old is charged with disorderly conduct. They believe that the police have acted improperly during their arrest by questioning them while their parents were not present. is it legal to do this?

If they had already been placed under arrest, except for the fact that the police needed to notify you why, and where they were, there is no need for the parent. Your presence is not going to "un-arrest" them. On the other hand, if they were only a SUSPECT in a crime, and were in custody and being questioned - you or an attorney should have been present.


Should a parent attend a police interrogation of their 17-year-old if the police will not provide information on why the minor is being questioned?

Absolutely not. The police won't let the parent of a minor child be present during questioning??? Sounds fishy to me. There is no law that requires a parent or guardian to be present when a minor is questioned. In some cases the presence of such a person intimidates the minor more that the police interrogation. There are any number of reasons why police would prefer to question a minor in private, abusive situations concerning parents or family members is just one. If the minor wishes a parent to be present, then most departments will allow that to happen, it is however not mandatory on the part of the police, neither is legal counsel unless the minor is actually arrested. The minor of course can refuse to speak to the police, which may result in he or she being placed under arrest in which case legal counsel should be retained. Check what state you're in, some states consider a person 17 to be an adult and subject to criminal court procedures rather that juvinile court procedures Answer 2: O.R.C In some states there is a clause in the law that states that a 17 year old is an adult, you also have to take into consideration if the person is imancipated or not. In Ohio you can refuse to talk to police when you are being detained or arrested. "You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning...", you can also have your parent present while your being questioned. It depends on the state...


Do witness statements fall in place with facts in a court case?

Witness statements (usually given to the police during the investigation stage) are used to build the case against the defendant. The actual witnesses, themselves, will be subpoeanad to court and will testify in person. While on the stand both the prosecution and the defense will have the opportunity to question them, as well as refer to the original statements they made to the police.
