YOUR CRIMINAL DEFENDER   COMMITTED TO DEFENSE -- NEVER A PROSECUTOR
		Don't Panic - YOU HAVE RIGHTS!!! Arrests: Juvenile A JUVENILE ARRESTED HAS MANY OF THE SAME RIGHTS AS ADULTS, BUT NOT ALL; A FEW THINGS ARE DONE DIFFERENTLY. YOU'RE A JUVENILE, AND YOU'VE BEEN ARRESTED. DO YOU KNOW THAT: if arrested, you have almost all of the same rights as adults; JUST AS DOES AN ADULT, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS POSED BY THE POLICE, AND TO HAVE AN ATTORNEY PRESENT DURING QUESTIONING. YOU ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE A PARENT PRESENT, BUT ONLY IF YOU ASK; if you're held at juvenile hall, the prosecutor must file a petition charging you with a crime within 48 hours (not counting days court is not in session) and then you have an absolute right to be brought before the judge by the end of the next court day; YOU HAVE A RIGHT OF PRIVACY IN YOUR ROOM, IN CLOSED CONTAINERS (LIKE YOUR TOOL BOX IN THE GARAGE OR YOUR MAKEUP KIT IN THE BATHROOM) that the police can't enter your room, or enter your closed containers [AND THE POLICE CAN'T LEGALLY SEARCH THERE -- EVEN IF YOUR PARENTS SAY IT'S O.K.]; IF YOU ARE CHARGED WITH CERTAIN SERIOUS CRIMES, THE PROSECUTOR CAN FILE THE CASE AGAINST YOU IN ADULT (CRIMINAL) COURT. If you win as to the most serious offenses though, you can ask the court to send you back to juvenile court with whatever lesser charges might be left; YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BAIL; IT'S UP TO A JUDGE TO EITHER HOLD YOU OR RELEASE YOU, PERIOD; Remember, your rights do not come later and only with age; YOU HAVE RIGHTS NOW !!!!!
