You are a police officer who pulls over two juveniles smoking marijuana. One juvenile, Thomas Jones, has no criminal record, while the other, Henry Thompson, has a long juvenile record, making him a chronic juvenile offender. You must decide whether to take both boys to the juvenile assessment center, let Thomas Jones leave while taking Henry Thompson, or let both boys go with a warning. You consider the benefits and consequences of each option, as well as your state's marijuana laws, which you have mixed views on.

1. 5-6 paragraphs
You and Officer Landonio are on patrol. You see two juveniles
sitting on the curb, and they are smoking what appears to be a
marijuana cigarette. They are not trying to hide the fact that
they are smoking marijuana, and you pull your patrol car over
to talk to them. You run their names and find that one juvenile,
Thomas Jones, does not have any record. But the other, Henry
Thompson, has a long juvenile record. You now have the option
to use, or not to use, your discretion.
