Is it legal for police to take a minor to the police station without being arrested?
Yes it is legal for an officer to take a minor to a police station without being arrested. This is called detainment. They are allowed to hold you for a period of unknown time, as every city and state is different. Usually 24 to 48 hours. However, if the minor is not being arrested and is being detained the officer must have probable cause to detain, such as possible runnaway or domestic violence, shoplifting etc. Usually the officer will call a parent or guardian to have them picked up from the police station if the minor cooperates and gives the contact information to the officer. But yes detainment is common.

Can a police officer from one state see your history of bench warrant issued in different state if your a minor?
If you have a warrant and it was entered into NCIC or your state's system (FCIC in Florida for an example) than any other law enforcement agency can pull it up nation wide regardless of you being a minor. They can hold you until they get a confirmation back from the originating agency saying they will or will not extradite you. If the originating agency will not extradite you and the officer has no charges of their own, you will be released and not booked. If they will extradite and/or the officer has their own charges on you, then you will be arrested.

What is the procedure to have charges dropped?
It depends on the nature of the offence as to whether charges can be dropped. For example I had a friend that got stabbed off a random person. She initially pressed charges, and the cps picked up the case for crown court as there were lots of evidence. She changed her mind due to the random guy being a bit of a head case, but it had already gone past the police and was with the crown prosecution service. She was told if she didn't attend court they would hold her in contempt and she would face charges herself! However, if its a minor offence, and only recently been given to the police, you can ask to change your statement or withdraw it completly. You will need to ring your designated officer immediatly. Good luck :o)
