the police, within their respective jurisdictions, in the handling of cases
involving minors coming within provisions of this chapter.  The rules and
standards may include limitations and restrictions concerning the
fingerprinting and photographing of any child in police custody, except that

adult would be a felony, a misdemeanor, or a petty misdemeanor any limitation
or restriction concerning fingerprinting shall not apply.  The police shall
