If you commit a crime before you are 18, does it still show up on police files once you are an adult?

-No they do not.  Although once you turn eighteen you have to have your record sealed.  I think it cost a hundred bucks.  I can be unsealed if you plan on joining the military or becomming an FBI agent or something like that.  In general a cop giving you a traffic ticket wont know you stole a shirt from the mall when you were sixteen.

If you only have this caution, and no other convictions, it will appear on your Police National Computer list of preconvictions for five years from the date of the offence.  This means that if you are arrested in the future, the police, Crown Prosecution Service and possibly the National Probation Service will be able to look this information up.  \n\nHowever, in terms of employment and disclosure, you usually only have to declare actual *convictions* when requested to do so, and in most cases you don't even have to do this if the conviction is "spent".  So if you're worried about who you would have to tell about the caution, the answer is no-one unless you choose to do so.

Yeah, unless you're a minor! I think it's still a felony but you go to kiddy court!\n\nhttp://www.total-knowledge.com/~willyblues/

The maximum fines are scary but people almost never get them unless they have an extensive criminal record.  \n Was the ring returned? If it was, expect probation and community service probably.  If not you may have to repay the value of the ring and then get probation and community service. You will be tried as a youth. (They only try as adult for serious offences like murder).  Here in Canada your record would be completely wiped out at 18 (sorry cant say for sure in USA).\nThe best thing to do is to talk to a lawyer (most courts have duty counsel there for free legal advice) and find out.

If you are over the age of 18, it will stay, no mater what. you may request for the record to be removed but that does not happen much

In Indiana, we were told that they can go back and look at your entire criminal history including juvenile offenses.  We were told that we should list all offenses for which we were arrested even if we have had those offenses expunged.\n\nNot every offense will disqualify a person from becoming a probation officer.  Serious offenses will, of course, but minor offenses will not.  At orientation, they did state that if you had a conviction but did not tell them and they found out through the background search, you would lose your position.

If it is a juvenile conviction, there are quite a few options. They are laid out in the first site below. If it is an adult conviction, only certain felonies can be expunged and only after 3 years. The exact details are in the second site.

No it will not effect your application at all ! You in fact have not been given a criminal conviction for the offence you committed when younger , You have basically  been told off and sent on your way home , never to offend again ! \nYou would be surprised to know that there are many many police officer`s who have had a criminal conviction and are serving officers in the police force today ! However the conviction`s are only very minor , so don`t worry there is no murderer`s / burglar`s etc amongst them ! But did you know certain criminal activities by any other family member`s can stop you from getting into the police force ? Log on to police could you .com for more info  .............. Good Luck

It would be called having them Exsponged, and maybe I am misspelling not sure, and they are only removed as part of a plea deal. You will occassionaly read of how someone will get a plea deal where if they commit NO crimes for like 5 years the thing would be exsponged.  As the first person said that is up to the DA as well though. I don't think there is any limit though. Although if you seem to have a history of committing crimes right after a prior is exsponged they aren't likely to make the deal very often. As to people under 18 I haven't heard of misdemeanors being removed from their record. It is summary offenses that are usually "sealed" or sometimes exsponged from the record. Maybe 3rd degree misdemeanors or so will be as well but the more serious the crime the less likely it will be removed.

If you were found guilty as a minor, then you're good to go.  If found guilty as an adult, you should contact the nursing board and ask them.

Whichever state you are in, age does not matter. If you want to move out on your own before age 18, you must go through an emancipation program and successfully complete the requirements etc. But if you do leave and you're a minor, when the police get a report that you've left without your parent's permission, you will be reported as a runaway and will possibly be sent to a juvenile detention center.

Of course it is still on your criminal record so it will follow you for life.  But on applications or anything like that don't leave it off when it asks if you've been convicted of a crime.  If you don't put it on there and a company hires you they can fire you if they find out.  Just be honest and if they ask, explain the situation.

If you were over 18 it will show up.  It should be in the system as a traffic violation only because in VA you could possibly get a restricted license.  It can be a misdemeanor or felony depending on the circumstances.  \n  If the question asks "Have you ever been arrested?" you better say yes because they'll find out.  Honesty is always best.

Once you are 10 years old or older... you can be charged with a crime.  If under 10  he/she is not considered to be criminally liable.\n\nTherefore if you decide to make a citizens arrest and they are under ten and they have been injured,  you could find yourself being accused of assault.\n\n\nSo the answer to your question is that the law is applied retrospectively once a person has reached 10 years of age.

It all depends on the crime. For the most part i believe if your grown enough to go and do an adult crime then you need to do the adult time. If we continue to let the youth get away with serious crimes then older crimebodies will continue to get our youth in trouble. We must raise our children correctly so they want end up in some prison but there are certain things that is morally wrong no matter if your 15 or 35 and those are the crimes our young "adult" should be charged for.

if there was no court date and she paid the fine, that means she either signed a paper admitting guilt or accepted a plea of guilt. It would seem that as a juvenile, it would disappear from an adult record, however I think your driving record is public record. Those things come back to haunt you, I am speaking from experience. There are laws to get certain offences "exponged" from your record. The laws vary from state to state. My particular crime is not expongable for ten years in Indiana, for example. It has cost me more then one good job. It seems unfair -if you paid for your crime and have not repeated the same mistakes, you should be able to move on with your life. Especially if many years have gone by. However big brother is watching. I signed a release of information at one job and they checked not only my criminal history but my credit, education, job, and personal history. Since 2005, when they passed The Patriot Act, eight out of ten employers do an extensive background check. it is supposed to cover their asp in case they hire someone who comes in one day and shoots up the place. I can see if it were a violent crime or a crime against a child, but for the most part we all made mistakes when we were young. some of us just got caught. We are just as hire able as the guy that hasn't learned his lesson yet, and a hell of alot less likely to make another mistake

It depends entirely upon what the charges were, and your behavior since they were recorded. In the long run, you are better off putting it on there, because anyone with a valid court order (such as the military conducting a background check) will pull your criminal record, and if they find it and you didn't own it on your background check application, that actually looks worse than the fact that you have had charges filed against you as a juvenile (or adult for that matter).
