If a minor is charged with Misdemeanor they are first held in a correctional center for three days. After, they are told to show up on a certain court date in which they MUST bring an adult with them (over 21). If you plead guilty, you may only serve three-five years in Juvy, unless your 17 almost eighteen, then they have a right to try you as an adult in which you may go to Prison instead. If you don't plead guilty and the jury/judge believes your lying due to the proof the officers have on you, then you may be looking at seven or more years for lying to the courts. -Chris

A child can usually be detained by the police for up to 24 hours without charge however if the alleged offence is serious in nature, such as murder, the maximum is 36 hours. In extreme circumstances, the police can ask the court to extend the detention period to a maximum of 96 hours. If the alleged offence comes under the Terrorism Act, the child can be held for up to 14 days.
The police cannot interview a child in custody if the child has requested an appropriate adult, such as a parent or guardian to be present.

When a minor at school abuses another minor and a parent did a police report . the school did something to the minor who did the harm . but can't the police do something or is that double jeopardy .?
The police can do something but you may have to contact them again and tell them you would like to press charges. The school discipline has nothing to do with police discipline. I did not know schools have a special police force what a stupid question.

Is a reckless driving offense going to keep you from becoming a police officer?
Very likely. One of the requirements of the local PD in my city is a clean driving record. A minor traffic violation or two won't always keep you off the force, but anything beyond a minor violation almost always will.
