I feel that an official action stronger than a verbal warning was justified and necessary, given the willful intent and the reported history of problems at the location. DC laws require taking into custody for minors. I'm not a lawyer nor a psychologist, so I defer to them to judge whether that is good policy. Handcuffs were probably going too far, but then again, I really can't say since I'm also not a police officer who lives with danger daily. -- Michael Malak malak@claygency.com Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
