Question: can a kid under the age of 18 get arrested for joy riding
Answer: Yes. Joyriding' is what lawyers call unlawful use of a means of transportation. A typical example would be a kid who sneaks out of the house at night and drives a parent's car without the parent's knowledge. This is a class 5 felony. If you are a passenger in a car that you know is being used unlawfully, the offense is a class 6 felony. Both types of unlawful use carry a mandatory license suspension until the person who took the car turns 18 years of age. See A.R.S. § Section 13-1803 for the definition of the offenses, and A.R.S. § 28-3320 for the license suspension
