Yes to the cell and the fingerprints, no to the DNA sample. They can ask him, if he refuses the prosecutor has to get a judge to issue a court order to collect it.
They cannot as a rule mix him with the adult population of the jail, juveniles are held in a seperate cell area.
Now get off the computer and get on the phone to find him a defense attorney. You'll be paying for that, so ask the fees right up front!

In Canada a 15 year old can be put in a cell when arrested.
As for fingerprinting, it depends on the offence. Some offences like minor possession and young offender breach of probation don't warrant finger printing.
DNA can only be taken after a conviction and only for certain offences (sexual assault, B&E and others).

Yes, the do have the right to place him in a cell and fingerprint him if he was under arrest but, they cannot extract DNA from him without his consent or a warrant.

Not DNA.. but yes they have a right to put him in a cell and finger print him.. he's been arrested.. maybe you should be more upset about what your son did- instead of defending whether or not the police have a right to arrest him...

Yes they do. Especially if it was a felon that he committed. If your son is getting in trouble with the law at such a young age there's obviously something wrong going on here. Try to get more involved in his life, and keep a sharp eye on him. Most kids I know who were in trouble at that age had losers for parents who didn't care what they did, and ended up as drug addicts with no high school diploma, nothing. Not saying you are a bad parent, but your child obviously has issues. Try counseling, and if all else fails, send his *** to boot camp. Your his parent, not his friend.

in the UK they first thing the police must do is inform the offenders parents-once this is done then yes if they have reason to beleive he committed the crime in question they can fingerprint and detain your son (depending on the severity of the crime-he could be remanded or released into your care).

That is normally what happens when you are arrested-
What the heck is a fifteen year old boy doing getting arrested in the 1st place- That would be my major concern

that depend son what State you live in but most have the right to do that if they believe he did a certain crime. If he has been charged with a crime they have the right to put him where ever they want to put him plus they can finger print , do a DNA test, etc.
