What a curfew could look like
City leaders have not announced details on what a curfew may look like. As News10NBC has covered, a curfew may face legal challenges. In 2006, City Council adopted a curfew that forbade children under 17 from being in public places past 11 p.m. on weekdays and past midnight on weekends. Two years later, a lower appellate court overturned the curfew. A year later, the State Court of Appeals upheld that ruling, saying the curfew violated the rights of parents.
