The first thing you need to do is fight any charges that were filed against you.  A lawyer can advise you if and when filing a complaint against the officer for his actions would be appropriate.  You could file an internal affairs complaint with his department and possibly a civil lawsuit, depending on the facts. Before filing a civil lawsuit you would need to provide a proper notice as required by statute, within 182 days of the incident you complain of. Get with a lawyer quickly.

What is the criminal law on questioning a minor?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
You havent watched enough TV cop shows. A little free advice: when questioned by police about your involvement in a crime, you and yours should exercise the 5th Amendment right to SHUT UP and do NOT talk to police or anyone about the case except an attorney. That includes on this or any other web site or public forum. Most police and prosecutors will happily tell you that 95% of people convict themselves by trying to be 'helpful and cooperative', either during initial contact, questioning, interview or interrogation. What can you do? You can hire an attorney, unless you know how to effectively represent yourself in court against a professional prosecutor intending to convict.

Everyone, including a minor, has the constitutional right to remain silent. If they give up this right, anything they say can and will be used against them. You don't have to let the police question a minor.
