Many young people come in contact with the criminal justice system.
If you are under 18 you will usually be involved with the juvenile justice system, but may be tried in adult court if accused of serious crimes. If you are 18 or older, you will be treated as an adult and be processed through the District Court. Rights and Duties Policemen are people. In general they will treat you decently if you are polite and not hostile. Like most people, they will sometimes become angry or rude if they are threatened or laughed at or abused.
