Subdivision 1. Photographing.

(A)Generally. A detained child may be photographed when the child is taken into custody in accordance with the laws relating to arrests. All children in custody alleged to have committed a felony or gross misdemeanor shall be photographed without a court order.
(B)Report. A report stating the name of the child photographed and the date the photograph was taken shall be filed with the court.

Subd. 2. Fingerprinting.

(A)Generally. All children in custody alleged to have committed a felony or gross misdemeanor shall be fingerprinted without court order. Otherwise, a court order is required pursuant to Rule 10.
(B)Report. A report stating the name of the child fingerprinted and the date of the fingerprinting shall be filed with the court.

Subd. 3. Line-Up.

(A)Generally. A detained child may be placed in a line-up. A child may choose not to participate in a line-up which is not related to the matter for which the child is detained unless ordered by the court to appear in a line-up pursuant to Rule 10.05, subdivision 2(A).
(B)Right to Counsel During Line-Up for Child Alleged to be Delinquent. A child has the right to have counsel present when placed in a line-up related to a delinquent act for which the child has been taken into custody unless exigent circumstances exist such that providing counsel would unduly interfere with a prompt investigation of the crime. When a delinquency petition has been filed, counsel for the child shall be present for any line-up. Any identification evidence obtained without the presence of counsel shall be inadmissible, unless the line-up occurred before the filing of the petition and exigent circumstances existed preventing the presence of counsel.
(C)Report. A report stating the name of the children who participated in the line-up and the date of the line-up shall be filed with the court.
