YES!!!\nAnd it was not my doing :) I was not at fault ! lol had to say it. But really. i have , My daughter had stopped going to school.. well Thye aressted me instead. there 3 days.. That was soooo wrong, I paid fines and she still quit school I sent her to Job corp. SHe got her ged, But I still had the fines. I think that is soooo wrong. I love her but, sometimes they should make the child responsible too.. I mean, c'mon. I could send her, and she leave on the bus, she leaves the school yard.... How is that my fault?

Yes. They put me in jail when my ex lied about being beaten. She hurt herself and then called the police on me. It cost me thousands of $$ to beat the false accusation.\n\nBottom Line: If you are asked any questions by the police, refuse to answer. You don't have to answer! All you have to do is provide ID, nothing else. Their job is to put people in jail. The more you talk, the more likely you are to go to jail. Keep your mouth shut!

I've been there many times myself, when I was younger.  I've paid the $900.00 fine  for  the same 2-violations many times. I don't like to buy insurance, but the law says we have to carry a State Minimum. That's what I carry now, even if my vehicle is new.  I have  never been taken to jail for the above mentioned 2-violations, but I've had to walk away from my vehicle many times,  or they''ve towed me and let me walk. I'm glad those days are over,, I won't miss them. Hey a person has to do what they have to do. Good Luck!

But that isn't what you did, just have a "couple beers."  You are underage AND you got yourself arrested.  So, knock off that innocent act.  You know what you did.\n\nYes...they can violate you.  They can also add to your probation, add to your original sentence, send you to rehab-conditional on your successful completion, etc.  You signed paperwork agreeing to do what they asked in order to be able to NOT be incarcerated.  \n\nHey....no matter what...if you can't take the punishment, then don't screw up.

What state are you located in?  Could be probation for a while.  Up to 28 days in a county jail... or fine of up to $5000. Note, going to jail is very rare and highely improbable.. dont worry you might just get probation  or fined/

yes, you can go to jail, juvenile jail.  no picnic so don't kid yourself.  they take away your shoe laces, and belts and treat you like the do a 40 year old criminal.  how long depends on who badly the other kid was hurt and the circumstances.  if it's a one time thing and both of you were fighting, then probably no jail time, but when you see the judge, you'd better act really scared and sorry.  if you have been in trouble before, you've got problems and the judge may decide best thing to straighten you out is to send you to juvi for a couple months or years

I was 19 when I got busted right after buying a bag of weed. one and a half ounces if I recall. (Minor misdemeanor possession, and Misdemeanor One Paraphernalia. It is ridiculous that I got in more trouble for having a pipe on me than I did for having drugs on me.) After having missed the court date for said tickets, I had a warrant out for my arrest. After evading it for about 3 weeks, I got tired of it and decided to "man up" to my mistake. Because I couldn't pony up the $48 dollars in bond required, I got stuck in county jail until the next court session, which was 6 days away. While I was in there, no-one told me when I was going to court, no-one told me IF I was going to court. Since this charge occurred in a municipality, there were no open lines of communication. I was crammed in a large two room cell with 24 other guys, and this room was obviously built for 16 people. The other prisoners got to calling me "Sonny-boy" after the little chicken boy with glasses from Foghorn Leghorn cartoons. There was one toilet, with NO barrier between me and the rest of the inmates. There was one shower with no curtain which no-one dared use, because of randy comments made by several of the other inmates. We had three square meals a day, food quality wise reminded me quite a bit of "free lunch" that I got from school because I was poor. There was a lot of bargaining and fighting over food in our cell, and I often had to wheel and deal to get people to leave me the F@#$ alone. There were about 16 beds, and everyone constantly argued and fought for them. I ended up sleeping on the standard issue gym mat right on the floor near a metal secured picnic table. There was only one window that showed the outside, and it was a sort of square park area about 20 feet big. The only thing in there was one lone tree, surrounded by a square of walls. I still see that scene in my mind as the perfect representation of losing my freedom. There was one guy in the cell that had a ton of paperback books, and that was what kept me sane in that place for 6 days. I did whatever I could to distract myself, I ended up reading 10 books in that 6 day time. At one point, one of my cellmates tried to forcibly remove my food from me, and I had to fight him. I feel horrible to this day, because this guy was like 60 years old. \n\n At that time in my life, I was losing myself to the drug scene. I was careening out of control and this experience started me on the path to sanity. After my court date and much pleading with the judge, I ended up with time served, a $900 fine (and court costs), and the order to "Consult a drug councilor". I did just that, thinking I could convince this person that I had no problem, and get back to my old ways. It did not pan out that way, and I spent 6 months in "Intensive Outpatient Rehab" with a 6-month sentence hanging over my head. Out of 32 of my peers in this program, me and one other person managed to come through the program successfully. About that time, I became involved with my future wife, and things have been great ever since. I came through all this without a scratch. It was tough for me, but his was what I needed to turn myself around. I have been drug free now for 8 glorious years, and I wouldn’t have changed this experience for the world. I often wonder how my life would have been had I not faced up to my mistake. Basically, jail sucks! It is a good punishment for many, but not for some. Do not get sent there if you can help it. (Unless that is what you need.)\nBlessed Be\nMyWifeRules2004

I defended myself on a misdomener case. Sort of a public indecency thing. I pled no contest and I got 6 months unsupervised probation and 100 hours of community service. I Also had to pay court costs of about 75 dollars.\nI wanted to hire a lawyer but he was joing to chrge me 1500 dollars. I think i did pretty good.

joining the service may help if it's not too serious (my exp.). And I believe you could petition the judge, again on the severity of the crime, and usually it would probably be your first, and last brainless crime.

DIversion programs are a 'second chance' for kiddos.  It is usually ordered where there are first time offenders.  Granted, minors records can be sealed, but better these days not to have one AT ALL when possible. \n\nPlease see this link   http://www.joe.org/joe/1993spring/iw3.html

of course. are you the same person you were at 17? \n\nif he's spent a lot of time in jail, however, i'd realize that mental health issues resulting from that kind of thing can cause all kinds of repercussions.

It would be important to know if you're talking about an adult or juvenile arrestee.  In my state, I'm required to provide a Miranda admonition to a juvenile immediately upon arrest, whether or not I intend to question them.  Florida may have a similar law.\n\nFlorida may also have some specific state law that deals with this issue, though I would not think so.  Constitutionally, you are only required to be "Mirandized" if you are in custody or the functional equivalent thereof, and if you are being questioned about the crime you were arrested for.  \n\nYour question leaves out other possible options.  For instance, handcuffs may have nothing to do with a Miranda admonishment, or they may have everything to do with it.  And if you are not in custody, Miranda does not come into play before or during questioning of any kind.  \n\nAnd the "all of the above" thing doesn't make much sense in light of the first two possible answers...it would suggest that I'd have to read an admonition to you before I put the handcuffs on you and after I put them on...twice in the space of less than 15 seconds.  \n\nBeing told what you're "charged with" (and really, you should say "arrested for" as the police make arrests and the prosecutors charge defendants) has nothing to do with Miranda.   In my state, I'm supposed to tell you what I'm arresting you for unless it's obvious under the circumstances.  There is no specific direction as to when I'm supposed to tell you and I doubt there is in Florida, either.\n\nIf "they" won't tell you your rights or why you've been arrested for 30 minutes, I'd say it means nothing more than they didn't tell you your rights or what you were arrested for, for 30 minutes.  It's always been possible to be arrested and sent to court without hearing a Miranda admonition from the police because, in the absence of a state law requiring it, Miranda does not come into play unless you are being questioned about the crime you were arrested for.  No point in reading it to you if you're not going to be questioned.

It would depend upon many factors.  Anything from a community order for a youthful offender where no weapon was shown and little violence was involved to 12 or more years custody where serious injury to the victim occurred is possible.

It depends on what you mean. Once your in jail you are locked\nup and stay there  until you are released or transferred to prison.\nSome guys take it upon them selves to punish other inmates,\nand some prejudice cops take  upon themselves to beat the \nprisoner just for the heck of it and then turn around and make\nup a story to back themselves up, so they won't get sued or \narrested.  I lived in L.A.  for many years and I seen and heard\na lot about these cops. Plus I was a victim of their harassment,\nThey tried to drag me down stairs for no reason at all. Since I \nheld on tight to the rail, they decide to leave me alone, but if they\nwould of taken me in then they would of pulled over in an ally\nkicked my ass, then take me to jail and say I was resisting arrest.\nI don't live in L.A., CA. anymore but I do know how they work.\nI was around when they beat the crap out of Roddney King.\nI know I gave you more then you asked for but everything is the truth. It can happen to anybody.
