No! Public Curfews Aren't Fair!
Cities and towns should not have curfews. "It is unfair to punish good kids who are out trying to make something of themselves when only a small percentage of young people are committing crimes," said one parent.
Curfews don't lower teen crime. Studies of curfews in Tulsa, Oklahoma, showed that arrests rose despite the curfew law. Curfews don't stop teens from getting into trouble. Teens who want to commit a crime won't let a curfew stop them.
Our country is based on freedom. Curfews violate a minor's rights. The First Amendment gives all people the right to gather in groups. Shouldn't that law apply to minors also?
Parents are responsible for their underage children. It's not the law's place to be another parent. It's up to parents to choose a curfew.
