They were talking about this on the radio this morning. I think it's ridiculous. Isn't there overcrowding in our penal system? Aren't there any REAL criminals they can go out and get?
ETA: Some of the laws regarding adolescents are ridiculous. My friend is dealing with a rebellious 17 year old daughter. She tried to ground the daughter and not let her go spend the night at a friend's house. The daughter called the police who informed my friend that, although she cannot kick her 17 year old out of the house, she also cannot prevent her from leaving if she wants to! So now, every time the mom tries to set a limit, the kid leaves for a few days and there is NOTHING my friend can do about it. So, the cops gave the kid license to do whatever she wants.
