Re: tagging

These refer to the law, chapter 266 section 126B. This has provisions for loss of drivers license, as well as whatever the court imposes. Your son will be treated as an adult, because of his age. You should contact a criminal defense attorney. If you are in southeast Mass, call me at (508) 822-7777.
