Question: Is it legal for a campus police officer to give a 13 year old a breathalyzer without contacting a parent first?

My comment to you, is that that is a silly answer... Go ahead and try to fool the cops. The Bible says, to obey the laws of the land. It is going to catch up with you one day. I hope that you are not a parent! You sound like a mere CHILD yourself.

If the state the 13 year old lives in has a minor zero tolerance law, and the police officer believes the minor has been consuming alcoholic beverage, no parental permission is needed. The teen must comply with the officer or be reprimanded to the juvenile authorities. Parents or not.

What you say to the cop, if your parents dont care you drink, is that you were at home drinking with you mom and dad and you friends came by and picked you up. As long as your not driving. Their is always ways to get out of tickets. But cops think they are the coolest and they can do whatever they want so get and fold up wallet size bill of rights and just look in it whenever you get in trouble. If they ask to search you all you have to say is no and they cant. We have the same amount of power as cops you just have to know how to use it. I got away with many many tickets just for tel

I think if a 13 year old is found intoxicated it should be mandatory for his parents to be called....then thrown in jail.

If it is legal for the breathalyzer to be given, then the next question would be, can the kid say no? It would seem to me that it would be next to impossible for them to make the kid do it. After all, it's not like they can take away his/her drivers liscence......
