if your under aged then the people you are staying with can be charged with fostering a runaway. you really want to be careful with this because if your parents want to press charges against the people you are with they can possibly charge them with kiddnap,even if you diod runaway on your own!!! good luck!

Well...if the justic system is any good and they get caught they get in trouble... it mainly depends on the crime and if they are caught.
they get sent back to where they came from or get arrested
IF they are caught then they are prosecuted, the same other places.
because they often scare to a thing.... they're afraid ... and that's why they runaway
people that get caught are persecuted to the full extent of the law and loose any prizes they have one ex. medals, badges,...
It will depend on what you are caught with, how much you were caught with and what you were doing with it. It would not be looked on as badly if you had it just for your own use compared to if you were selling it to others. People can face heavy prison sentences, and generally the judiciary are getting tougher.
