Right now I live in Philly. I grew up in Exeter. I don't know of any curfew in either of them(not that it matters, I'm 18). If there WAS a curfew in Exeter, it sure wasn't inforced. Closest thing to a curfew is the PA jr. drivers lisencse.

What are the curfew laws for the City of Philadelphia?
Section 10-300 of the Philadelphia Municipal Code requires that persons under 18 years of age adhere to certain restrictions.

Children under 18 are permitted on public streets according to the following guidelines:

Sunday through Thursday: Children must be inside by 10:30 PM and cannot venture out until 6:00 AM.

Friday and Saturday: Children cannot be out after 12:00 Midnight. They may leave the premises at 6:00 AM.

We got in a big arguement on how we had a car and we would drive home. The thing is, we had a cell with us and we had permission to be out late. Whats up with this!?!?!

I would be so mad... curfew is so totally absolutely retarded.

It's as much for your safety as the safety of others.


amish

Umm...lets flash back to a few years ago, how would being out late hurt me?

Hit by drunk driver.

Kidnapped.

Mugged.

etc... or you could be doing any of said offenses to someone else.

that could happen to anyone though, and most curfews are only for minors. if the purpose of a curfew is to simply protect people, we might as well have them include EVERYBODY.

What happens if you don't have any ID. Can't you just not carry anything that would show you are underage and tell the cop to shove his curfew. There is no law saying you have to give police an ID when asked unless you are driving.

<< From a small town that either didn't have curfew or was not enforced because we don't have cops.

Philly Curfew (3/4 of the way down)
Curfew:
The official Philadelphia curfew for anyone 18 or younger
is 10:30pm Sunday-Thursday, midnight Friday-Saturday.

That's pretty gay, but I think you mean under 18, cuz I'm outside at night all the time, I walked back from Egypt(to Drexel) on Friday, didn't get pestered by any cops.

Kidnapped.

A) what's more important is I doubt Exeter, where I grew up, had a curfew. None of those things happened there.
B) Those things can happen to anyone, not just kids
C) Those things can happen during the day, not just at night.

kids their age don't care about "safety" they care about having a good time.
i understand your perspective, but you have to understand theirs.

No I don't. They are underage. They don't get a perspective until 18.

HUH!?!??

18 yr olds are complete idiots, just because you turn a certain age doesn't automaticly give you a brain, give the kids the experiances in life young so hopfully when their older they know better, eather that or have huge hemoriods by 21...

Well, how old are you. If you are under the curfew age, it doesn't matter. It's not ok to kill your neighbor even though someone may have given you permission (including parents).

What's the point of the government instating a curfew? Can't they leave the parenting to the parents? Really, its one of the most ridiculous laws I've ever heard.

Because parents suck these days and they want to prevent the kids of the sucky parents from destroying and burning down the whole city. Curfews are there for a reason.

 

[Deeko]

Ok, so why not punish the kids that screw up? When I was 17, I was out late, I didn't do anything wrong, why should I have had to stay home? My neighborhood wasn't burned down...Heck I lived 5 miles away from Reading, a pretty crappy city, I don't think they had one either, and they didn't burn down either.

Simply put, it is not resource efficient to evaluate each case individually.

We draw a line, and we stand by it.

[Deeko]

Oh, its not resource efficient to punish the 10% that screw up, so lets just punish all 100%. That is the worst logic I've ever heard. Might as well take down the internet, some people use it for malicous purposes.

You can think it is necassary, but I grew up in a city that didn't have one, or had one but didn't enfore it, and it wasn't a problem, for anyone. That tells me that it is useless, and makes a kids' life harder for no good reason.

There is no punishment, there is a simple rule to follow. If you're under 18, you can't be out after midnight.

And your small town up-bringings are not the rule, they are the exception.

[Deeko]

It is punishment. Would you like it if you weren't allowed out past midnight?

Reading is not a small town. It's no huge city, but its got almost 100,000 people.

true...if you ask me, its kinda sad that the government deems when you are allowed out of your house.

seattle has no curfew, and it ain't a small town it's obvious that some unfortunate saps live in locations with that rule, but that's not to say the rule isn't ass-backwards.

The law is selectively enforced against those the police deem as threats. Your too young to understand the reason the law exists, when you have grown up some more you will understand.

I'm old enough for it not to apply to me, and I still stand by the fact that I grew up in a city without one, where there weren't problems related to kids being out at night.
