Juvenile School Searches and Interrogations
Increasingly, children are being searched and interrogated while at school. These actions by school officials and police at school often lead not only to school punishment, but also charges in juvenile court or even adult charges in superior court. Because of the increasing stakes, scrutiny and oversight of the searches and interrogations that are taking place in schools are crucial to the criminal defense of a juvenile. In these circumstances, a motion to suppress a child's school statements or evidence found through a search is often the first line of defense.
Because of the case loads in juvenile court, prosecutors and judges may move a case through quickly without analyzing the evidentiary issues or how a child was treated in the obtaining of that evidence. Evidence may be suppressible if the school officials and police did not conduct a search or interrogation in accordance with our laws and the Constitution. At the Juvenile Law Group, we will analyze all of the issues in order to get the best result possible. We not only represent the client, but aim to assist with the whole issue leading to a juvenile charge and listen to what is most important to you. As a parent, both you and your child are our number one priority.
