In NC juvenile law, what is the plea bargain to erase a misdemeanor?
Q. In NC juvenile law, what is the plea bargain much like a prayer for judgment in which it does not go on your record and as long as you do not commit the same crime for however long, you will not be convicted? If you could also explain how I might go about requesting this when representing myself that would be great. Thanks.
Asked by Ethan - Tue Sep 2 02:11:54 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A plea bargain and a PFJ are two different things. A PFJ is exactly what you referred to. A plea bargain must be offered by the District Attorney - you cannot request it. A plea bargain is pleading guilty to a lesser crime in exchange for a lesser sentence. The charge would still remain on your record though. If you are a juvenile, you will not be allowed to represent yourself - nor should you.

All i need to know is, in Kansas what age can a juvenile be questioned by law-enforcement without having a pa?
Q. Why would law enforcement read a Juvenile his miranda rights if he was not arrested? and was just brought in for questioning and let go.could it of been just a scare tactic and is that legal?
Asked by sheila j - Wed Mar 4 11:55:56 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Any age. Kansas has no law requiring a parent be present for the questioning of a minor. The requirement to read someone their Miranda rights is not triggered by arrest, it is triggered by a "custodial interrogation". Anytime someone is being questioned in circumstances where a reasonable person would not assume that he is free to leve at any time, he must be Mirandized. Where the person is a minor, and therefore more likely to accede to pressure from cops, the courts will give them more lattitude in accepting that they didn't think they were free to leave. Scare tactic? Maybe. It's not uncommon to do that. Legal? Yes. Richard

Asked by Monique M - Wed Apr 8 00:36:17 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. For California law you can find it in the Penal Code (see site below). Related material would be in the Family Code, Welfare and Institutions Code, Education Code, Evidence Code, Vehicle Code, and possibly Streets and Highways Code. You will also find City and County Codes related to tagging in for your own community. Specifically look at Penal Code Sections 424-440, 556, 594-625 (there may be others as well)

Asked by Miss D - Tue Jan 1 12:36:23 2008 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. EM violations are like violating the conditions of release and having bail temporarily revoked except that juvenile court is a civil forum not a criminal forum. When the juvenile has been in custody for an appropriate length of time, the court will revisit the detention and will re-release the juvenile back on EM.

I need to know about juvenile law in LA-Baton Rouge?
Q. Does the Constitution of the U.S. also protect disabled/mental children under 18? If so, why does Louisiana Office of Youth Development (regional office-Baton Rouge) not know this? Why can't children's mental records be presented in juvenile court? When a juvenile has a court appointed attorney, is it not logical for that attorney to inform the child's parents of the proceedings either through correnspondance via letter or telephone?

A. I am definitely not a lawyer, but LA state laws is one of 2 states which practice French Law. French law actually usually is more protective than English law. ...In regards to mental health records, usually the court would need to show cause, and the records be entered into evidence. Juvenile as in 16 years old is different than juvenile as in 12 regarding the children's parents right...sorry I cannot be more specific without exact info.

A. The first guy has no idea what he is saying. I am a police officer, and I have a criminal record, albeit a very minor one (violation of DL restriction) as an adult. If your criminal history as a juvenile is expunged, you still have to divulge this information in your background questionaire. Obviously if it is something serious like, murder, or armed robbery, they are probably not going to offer you a job no matter how much time passes. If it is something else, even certain felonies (as long as there was no conviction), as long as enough time has passed and you have a fairly long track record of "doing the right thing" you should be ok...with most agencies.

At the scene they check him for weapons and contraband and find a knife on him. During the interview he condesses.

Asked by Monique M - Sun Mar 1 18:19:34 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. At 10 yoa, Johnny is not old enough legally to be left alone. By law, Johnny should not have been interviewed without a parent present. There must be a reasonable effort to locate johnny's parents. Probable cause exist when the police matched the description of the stolen bike with the bike Johnny was riding and because Johnny is an supervised juvenile. The search was incidental to arrest and is "procedure" for safety reasons. The juvenile offense is a misdemeanor.

juvenile fingerprints submitted to FBI NCIC and IAFIS in California?
Q. California Juvenile Law question- are juvenile fingerprints submitted to/included in NCIC and IAFIS database (the arrest DID NOT result in court/hearing)??? The juvenile was arrested at age 17 in Los Angeles for shoplifting. Fingerprinted and photographed but not sent to court. Would this fingerprint show up in ANY FBI fingerprint database?

A. the fingerprint is there in the system. NCIS if im not mistaken only goes into affect if you admit to being a gang member or is a crime with a weapon etc. If you were 17 then you dont have to answer this to an employer for two reasons one, you were a juvey and two it resulted in no charge since no court hearing.

Asked by Tiara - Thu Jun 11 16:29:20 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. First, juvenile justice sucks, because you are not entitled to a jury trial and the judge just has to have preponderance of evidence to render guilt. Juvenile justice is suppose to "protect, not necessarily punish." How badly was this kid beaten up? Really bad? You may have problems, if so. do not get a public defender! AGAIN, do not get a public defender! If the kid wasn't hurt too bad, and she has never been in trouble before, she will probably get probabtion and counseling. Being 12 helps to keep her out of juvie, too. Misdemenor? I didn't read that at first. She should be OK with just probation.

A. You can call Juvenile Court and find out if your case is closed. They will give you that information but they will not tell you over the phone if there is a warrant for your arrest. You have to appear in person at the police station or sheriff's office in your area. If I were you I would call either the Clerk of Court's Office or the Juvenile Court and make sure your case is closed prior to going to the DMV.
