Getting Arrested

未成年人刑事案件是由下列情况之一提起的:

A citation is issued by a police officer. 传票要求少年在稍后的日期与缓刑部门的缓刑官会面或出现在少年法庭. 面临刑事指控的青少年也可能被警方逮捕，并释放给他们的父母, 通过邮件向缓刑部和/或地方检察官办公室提交指控.

已经缓刑的青少年可能会因违反缓刑规定而被警察或缓刑官员再次逮捕. An officer can arrest a juvenile for a crime. When the crime is too serious to release the minor, 警官有权将未成年人拘留，并将其送入位于金曼的郡少年管教所. For a minor to be arrested, the officer must have a specific reason, 比如犯罪行为或违反缓刑条款.

When a juvenile is arrested时，警察会进行一项被称为“穿衣服搜身”的搜查。pat-down" search. 然后，警察给少年戴上手铐，并把他或她放在巡逻车里. The juvenile is then transported to Juvenile Hall for booking.

In the event you are arrested, 与警察打交道时应牢记以下规则:

Never resist arrest, no matter how unreasonable the arrest may seem. Resisting arrest is illegal. 如果一名警察带着搜查令来到你家， you must permit the officer to search your home.

Booking into Juvenile Detention
