Can minors be questioned by police with out a guardian/intoxicated guardian

Anonymous Jan 3, 2014 10 views 1 answers

I am a minor one time I was detained and interrogated while my father was drunk are they allowed to even ask him if it is ok to interrogate me while his is intoxicated and another time I was questioned about a stolen/crashed truck the police questioned me without my guardian and then tried to conclude that I did it so is it legal to be interrogated without a guardian or when your guardian is drunk?

Consent my be freely and intelligently given, so I would say you have a possible issue. The better question would that of proof and whether the police perceived him to be drunk when they got the consent.
