Law Enforcements pursuit And Punishments of Youth is far too excessive in hte regional zip-codes here!! Too many young lives have been derailed from both higher educational pursuits and career formation by the merciless and relentless pursuit by police - In my close observations Many 'interdictions - stop and search' have actualy involved 'Entrapment' - but usually you cannot successfulky question an officers claim.

  Let the kids Grow UP - visit the parents and provide firm guidance - stop arresting our youth for Minor transgressions - Please!!

As for the adult society - just look at the sheer SIZE of the Prison Population! How many 'criminals' do we have as a result of childhood arests punishing children, rather than attempting to re-direct their choices and activities. Since the post 9/11 massive Fundings of Local Law enforcement agencies, too many police and too much technology is deployed in areas where virtually NO Crime exists (except some personal substance USE). I could go on and on -
