Parents, Even "Good Kids" Need This Guide

Via my friend  Skelly, the public defender  Arbitrary and Capricious:.

Last month, the San Jose Mercury News ran a story on how San Jose Independent Police Auditor is coming out with an updated edition of the "Students' Guide to Police Practices."

I downloaded a copy.  It is written in a factual, but accessible style.  If your teen is driving, you should get a copy and go over it with your teen.  You should go over the list of common crimes (like jaywalking and curfew violations).  Young teens, even kids with "good values", can have moment of giving into temptation and shoplift.  That's in there, too.

I recommend that you Download Youth Guide Police Practices.pdf.  Spanish and Vietnamese versions are available from San Jose's Office of the Independent Police Auditor.  Print it out and read it with your kids. 

And people, it isn't San-Jose specific.
