702 JerimyHolmesTXUSI was arrested for being out 9 minutes after a curfew that i was unaware of. I had thought that curfew laws only applied when marshal law is issued. I just recently moved to texas, now I have to pay a $500 fine plus court costs. This is completely unconstitutional.

705 AnonymousAnonymousCAUSim against curfew laws kids aint bad people!! shit!!! fukk all da curfew mierda...its all bullshit!!!
706 AnonymousAnonymousKSUSI think my parents should be able to tell me when to get home, not a law! If I chose to be late is one thing but, if i get stuck on traffic or lose track of time I don't think I should have to pay a fine, who is the law to act on my parent's behalf!
707 AnonymousAnonymousARUSI think the curfew should be later and cops should be less strict on us.

709 BrianaLyonsILUSI was recently arrested for a curfew violation. I admit that it was rather late, but when they arrested me, i didnt resist, or act violently. And they cuffed me behind my back. which is painful when they pull your arm out of its socket (and im not joking, i had to go to the hospital after wards) and I was forced to take a rape kit, or else my friend would be arrested as well for statutory rape without any evidence (we were in the car, with the windows rolled down, talking) they swabbed the car as well. and without my consent or my mothers consent, they had a doctor do a rape kit on me. they said it was for my protection. but my question is, if it is for my protection, why am i being arrested. I was not doing anything illegal, was carrying nothing illegal, and no one in the car was doing anything illegal. So, the law makes no sense. another arrest that i got for curfew violation (which is what got me into more trouble this time) I was staying with my cousin at his house (he is 19 years old) and him and some friends wanted to go out and get a late night snack. I didnt feel comfortable staying in a house alone, with a bunch of guys i didnt know, so i went with them. so i got arrested, for being with my cousin, in the car, going to wendys. now tell me how thats protecting me if i was with my cousin, and not in a house with a bunch of older ppl. The guys all got arrested too.....for being in the car with me. I WAS WITH MY COUSIN. DOING NOTHING ILLEGAL. AND 5 PEOPLE GOT ARRESTED FOR IT. now you show me how this is fair, and i will have no problem with paying my court costs.

713 RobertVan HoornWIUSThis is simply another form of the government slowly taking away our civil rights. If the police are so concerned about our children being out late, why don't they take them home instead of arresting them & taking them to a police station. Their concern is not our children, but how much power they control, & how much money they can make abusing that power.
714 kymberlyjensenMIUSIf your 17 you can go to jail, you are a lagel adult
715 AnonymousAnonymousILUSwhy should a 17 year old have to obey the curfew laws. if your seventeen you are legal to go to jail, but you cant stay out till the the time you please. i dont get it!

719 JonathanHaraPAUScurfew is a infringment of civil rights
720 JulieNguyenCAUSI THINK CURFEW SHOULD BE REQUIRED BECAUSE IF NOT THEN U COULD GET RAPED
721 AnonymousAnonymousPACurfew should not be up to the government but to parents. it is actually safer to drive later at night becasue less people are on the road and maybe people wouldnt be bad if cops did their fucking jobs.

738 AnonymousAnonymousOHUSRecently my father was charged a $145 fine, and i was scheduled a court date because my friends and i were a few houses down from mine. Because we had no ID the cops threw us into their cruiser even though i lived 4 houses away!
739 DaxManessVAUSIndeed there should be no curfews anywhere for anyone, it's not just wrong, it's down right ghastly. That's what America does though, slowly taking away everyone's rights while convincing them that it's ok and that it's for the best, but soon we won't be able to enjoy any of the simple and great pleasures of life. Personally night time is my favorite time of day, I like to go out and just walk around, I even stay away through all dark hours of the day, how sickening curfews are!
740 KarlieWilsonWYUSI don't think kids should have a curfew. Yes they should have a time too come home but they shouldn't be on a short leash. If there parents keep them like that what do you think will happen when they have the freedom. They will be wild and have many problems. Just imagine what would happen when they get in to college.
741 AnonymousAnonymousKYUSi think curfew should apply to teenagers under the age of 16 not 17 and up
742 chellygILUSI agree this law is a little harsh on kids!
743 JustinLongworthOHUSI live in Hilliard Ohio and my feoncy is 17 1/2 with mother's blessing we are plaining to get married after her 18th birthday this oct. We deliver the Columbus Dispatch from 3am to just after 6am daily and midnight to 8am Sundays. But with the new curfew law for Columbus on June 5 2008 "Coleman announced that beginning June 5, children found out past midnight will be taken to a drop-off center at the YMCA where parents can pick them up. The first offense will require parents and children to attend a three-hour workshop. Children with a second offense must perform community services. Additional curfew violations may lead to misdemeanor charges against both the children and the parents." (http://www.10tv.com/live/content/local/stories/2008/03/14/stateofcity.html?sid=102) She will be convicted of a crime for doing our job and trying to get money back set back to support our selfs. Washington Court House City Schools in southern Ohio already put her threw so much pain and hardship and harassment enofe to have her sign out. So to me this fells like another way of the system trying to bring the pore working class group down. She isn't out causing any trouble what so ever just trying to get money to get back into school so now after June 5th just trying to make money to survive and be able to pay for classes to get a ged she will be seen as a criminal. Her mother knows where she is at and is happy she is taking the initiative to better her life and get a good start. I also know of a lot of people who are under the age of 18 who help out a older brother or sister with running a rout to bring money home to help the family in this dire time with the economy falling apart. But will be treated the same as a trouble maker running the streets causing trouble.
744 MiriamCotaNMUSI think that curfew is good but they should atleast get a reasonable explanation from the kids before police takes them away, might be they do have permission from their parents. Just have them give you an explanation and if you arent convinced call their guardians to confirm what they said. That way they do take the real BAD guys and let the GOOD ones have some safe fun with their friends. Just a thought since i think that it will be so hard to get them to retreive that law. This might work. Good Luck guys!!!! And remember have fun but be safe.....Bye
745 AnonymousAnonymousOHUSYou should really learn to spell before making an argument to treat you as an adult! And you should ALWAYS carry a ID! Act grown-up if you want to be treated as a grown-up!
746 jadelouiseAUit is absolutely ridiculous that this curfew exists!! what ever happened to freedom??!!
