What happens if a juvenile is fingerprinted prior to the disposition of their case?

They must be released immediately
A report of the charges must be sent to the SBI
The case will be dismissed
They cannot be tried as an adult

The correct answer is: A report of the charges must be sent to the SBI

When a juvenile is fingerprinted prior to the disposition of their case, a report of the charges must be sent to the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI). This is an important step in the legal process concerning juveniles, as it ensures that there is an official record of the juvenile's involvement in the legal system and allows for tracking and data collection regarding juvenile offenses. Sending a report to the SBI serves several purposes: it helps in maintaining a central repository of juvenile records, supports the analysis of juvenile crime trends, and assists law enforcement in accessing vital information for future interventions or investigations. This process does not imply immediate consequences such as release, dismissal of the case, or inability to be tried as an adult, which are misinterpretations of the implications of fingerprinting in juvenile cases.
