Yes. Although juvenile records are sealed to the general public, law enforcement and the courts can still refer to them for official reasons especially if they refer back to similar (especially violent) crimes.

In certain cases a Juvenile record can be used against you like in my case. When I was 16 I was with some friends and we decided to break into a school. We ended up breaking a window and my friend at the time took some Computer Monitors. So I was charged with a Gross Misdemeanor of aiding and abiding burglary and sentenced to probation, restitution (paying for some of the broken window), and community service. I am now 24 and during a Civil case recently against me petitioned by the Sheriff of my county the opposing attorneys used my Conviction from when I was 16 against me to establish I was a danger and should no longer be allowed to have a Permit to Carry a Handgun. So they took a criminal case from when I was a juvenile 8 years ago and basically said I was the same person I am today. I live in Minnesota and in this state they can use Juvenile records against you in at least civil matters so be careful.

For a prosecutor to prosecute the case into juvenile court there must be enough evidence to show probable cause that the juvenile committed a delinquent act (delinquent acts range from crimes - misdemeanors or felonies - to acts that can only be committed by juveniles, such as truancy and runaway behavior.
