State Laws

I just bought a knife at Wal Mart, and you have to be at least 16 years old, and you will need to show ID.

To clarify, most places of business require you to be an adult of legal age of consent to purchase. Many times this is not a Law but a policy or a zoning requirement for the business. 18 years old is considered to be the age of consent nationwide for many things like voting but there is no age requirement to carry a knife in the state laws.

I can't speak for every single state, but in every one I've lived in, you could.

Added: Yes Only in these states can you get a license but you can only drive in that state. All states are members except for Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Tennessee (dropped out in 1997). Nevada repealed the authorizing legislation in 2007[1], though it still generally conforms to the agreement through regulations.

18

While it is not recommended for a young child to be left home alone, parents can do so once the child becomes a teenager. However, it is important that you take into account how many nights and ensure that the children have an adult they can rely on if needed.

No curfew for the state but some counties/cities have them

I do not know if this will be very useful for yoru purposes, as I don't know Delaware property law very well, but here are some related facts: Liberated minors, or people under 18 who qualify to live without a guardian, can rent properties in some, maybe all states. Generally, a minor cannot be subject to contracts and cannot be eligable for the financing for rental leases. Furthermore, it would be a rare renter that would accept a minor leasee except under the most pristine circumstances.

to get a piercing in new zealand without parent consent, the age is 16. you will need to provide ID.

In most cases notarization must be done by a third party not directly involved in the transaction being notarized. In most jurisdictions a notary can notarize something for a family member as long as they are not the beneficiary of the transaction. This is for the protection of all parties involved and should be common sense in anyone's book.

There is no length limit in Indiana. There are no laws regarding swords either, except for the obvious don't hurt someone with them. Indiana is one of the most lenient states in terms of knife laws. There are viturally no laws regarding knives except to forbid knives on school grounds. Ballistic knives are still illegal, of course. But ballistic knives are considered illegally manufactured firearms rather than knives. Throwing stars are illegal as well.

Not yet, although the Police Association, which represents Police Officers in New Zealand, would like to see them issued.

Having said this, it is my understanding that tasers and firearms can be issued under certain circumstances.

There is a park curfew starting at 11:00 P.M.

There is a juvenile curfew starting at 11:00 P.M.

you legally have no responsibility for anything once ur child hits 18 years of age they are a legal adult and must deal with their own responsibilities.

Depending on which state the person was driving in while speeding, punishments may vary. For example, in California, there may be a fine, the driver may have to attend classes, points on the driving record may be incurred, and insurance rates may increase. Depending on the number of violations, a person's license may also be suspended, revoked, or cancelled.

In the UK A Police officer can not strip search any one under 18 (I think they can strip search 16-17 yr old's in special circumstances i.e if they sneak cigarettes into the cell and smoke them) in any place or at any time even if your parents/guardians are around.Just because your under 18 doesn't mean they can treat you like a dog not even your parents are around.It's your body your life your time

18 so you aren't getting a tattoo any time soon.

Intended as a deterent to juvenile crime, it is an abomination of the first order. A child must be properly defined in a statuatory sense. Governments determine child labor laws by age. They determine access to military service by age. They determine access to alcohol, driving and tobacco by age. As a nation of laws, the US must not only establish the rules, it must enforce them. Answer: On the contrary, trying juveniles as adults isn't so much a deterrent but that the crime committed is that of an adult level of nature in the planning and execution of the crime or as repeat offender. The severity of the crime doesn't necessarily have to be that of a murder or armed robbery. Much in the same way a court determines the pliability of a minor's "emancipation" , so does it utilize the same tools to decide whether or not a juvenile can stand in judgment for a crime in the same manor of an adult. There is a certain amount of ambiguity when it comes to a jury trial because the mere presents of a minor being tried as an adult, facing adult punishment often leans the jury to offer lesser sentences than that of an adult, but the impact is there non the less. To back up a small bit, the severity of the crime, may play a bit because of the amount of time a minor could possibly serve for the crime, if found guilty. After being found guilty, normally the remand is until the minor reaches the age of 21 in a juvenile/family court system. If the state mandatory remand is over say, twenty years, the juvenile is held over and adjudicated as an adult. (To serve the minimum) Juveniles, even tried as an adult, will never face the death penalty, but could possibly be remanded for life if the crime fits the punishment, but also would more likely be allowed parole more often than say, an adult charged with a like crime. When it comes to crimes committed by juveniles, There are no "Pros or Cons" to try the juvenile as an adult. The juvenile must be afforded the ability to benefit from the incarceration, and be given the opportunity to reform.

The length of grace periods varies from state to state. Iowa, Oklahoma, and Colorado each give you one month after your registration expires, while Texas gives you only five days. But there is none for TN.

There is no law regarding age. The laws deal with child endangerment. If the child is safe, feels safe, and knows how to take care of themselves in an emergency, they should be okay. Most authorities agree that at 12 or 13, leaving a child home for a couple of hours during the day should be okay.

The fourteen states that have laws that prohibit leaving children unattended in an automobile include California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, and Washington. Most states have clauses in those laws specializing that the child must be in obvious danger or (in the case of Washington) depend on what type of establishment you are going into.

Penalties for leaving children alone range from noncriminal traffic infractions to second-degree manslaughter charges if the child dies as a result from being left alone in the car. Additionally, there is a wide age range of children that pertain to these laws.

Please note that even if a state does not have a specific law prohibiting adults from leaving children unattended, state and local prosecutors have the discretion to criminally charge adults under existing child endangerment laws if there is a significant threat to the child.

The reasoning behind most of these laws is that, children, who have smaller bodies, react faster to adverse conditions. Therefore, if a car is sweltering and they are unable to open the doors, then they are too young to save themselves.

Have your kid open the car door by themselves and you can leave them in the car while you shop.
