My personal favorite is when I'm minding my own business eating lunch, and some parent with their little walks by and points and says "I'm gonna have that officer take you away if you don't act right."

Re: Texas schools using police to ticket elementary kids

Let's reign this in just a bit. The author is taking some creative license with his facts. In Texas you aren't even capable of commiting a crime until you are 10 yoa. The tickets are written to the parents for under 10. 10-16 yoa and you go to juvi court - which isn't really a criminal court, it's more like a civil court that addresses criminal charges for juvs.

Hope this helps.
