in the united states, truancy regulations are generally enforced by school officials under the context of parental responsibility. new automated calling systems allow the automated notification of parents when a child is not marked present in the computer, and truancy records for many states are available for inspection online. in large schools where law enforcement officers are present, the fine for "playing hooky" can range from $250 to as much as $500. about 12,000 students were ticketed for truancy in 2008 in los angeles. many states provide for the appointment of local truancy officers who have the authority to arrest habitually truant youths and bring them to their parents or to the school they are supposed to attend. many states also have the power to revoke a student's driver's license or permit. where it exists, a school truancy officer is often a constable or sheriff, concurrently. the position of a full-time truancy officer is generally viewed as being a relic from the 19th century when mandatory school attendance was relatively new.

while many states agree that sequential lineups are able to lower the wrongful conviction of innocents, they also notice that sequential lineups lead to more of a chance that the guilty would be overlooked and not convicted of their crime. because of this many states do not want to implement a law that mandates that sequential lineups are the only lineup that can be used. these states are willing to accept the benefits of sequential lineups but do not want to give themselves only one option when conducting a lineup. there are different feelings about the advantages and disadvantages of sequential lineups. gronlund, carlson, dailey, and goodsell state one of the disadvantages, "sequential lineups do not enhance accuracy but rather make eyewitnesses more conservative in their willingness to choose. although this is desirable when the police have an innocent suspect, it is problematic if the police have a guilty one." but lindsay, mansour, beaudry, leach, and bertrand show one of the advantages of sequential lineups estimating that with them between 570 to 1425 innocent people will not be wrongfully convicted that would be with simultaneous lineups. according to the innocence blog on the innocence project website, many states and law enforcement agencies have already started to implement the tools that would be necessary to run double-blind sequential lineups but have yet to fully embrace these tools.
