§ 314 Minor Age Misrepresentation Deadline

• •If a kid lies about being 18 or older to the police or a probation officer, and this lie slows down the investigation, the police have 48 hours to file a complaint once they find out the kid's real age.
• •If the police don't file the complaint in time, the kid must be let go right away.
• •This rule doesn't count weekends or holidays when figuring out the 48 hours.

A 16-year-old gets arrested but tells the police he's 19. The police believe him and take longer to investigate because they think he's an adult.

Once the police find out he's really 16, they have 48 hours (not counting weekends or holidays) to file a complaint. If they don't, they have to let him go.
