"why the hell would you be doing this at school?"
A standard American school day is about 7 hours. Sign up for a sport or debate team, or any of drama, glee, or science club, and it's nearer 9 or 10 hours. You might be doing this at school because it's where you are most of the day. Also, most schools have more open space than anything else in town but the public parks.

Having once ridden to the mall down a limited-access highway with my rear on the trunk of a Datsun Z-something and my hands on its roll bar, I think I may have encountered horrible judgment before. Jon Bentley's "Bumper-Sticker Computer Science" column in CACM (collected in Programming Pearls quoted Fred Brooks: "Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment."
By all means haul the girl into the principals office and yell at her. But a felony?
