A warrant is required when arresting a juvenile for a criminal act? True or False


Sagot :

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let’s say this.

A group of teenage boys walks into a retail store, and an officer is 25ft from their presence. They run out of the store carrying electronics. The worker from the store shouts for someone to help them. The officer runs after the juveniles and he/she has the right to make a warrantless arrest on behalf of theft of property, which can result in a fine or time in jail.

So your answer wouldv’e been false.

False.
If a juvenile commits a crime, a police officer or deputy can arrest them with or without a warrant. A warrant can be issued but is not required. Say, a 16 year old robs a store and flees, the cameras show what happened and what the 16 year old looks like. So pictures can be used to identify the juvenile. Miranda rights also have to be read to juveniles because just like an adult, they can refuse to speak.
