Question: If you get probation when you are 17 and get a curfew can you be transferred to adult probation so you don't have a curfew?

Answer: No. Curfew laws are made by city governments and most apply to all youth under the age of 18. Just because you might fall under adult probation does not mean that the curfew laws will not apply to you if you are still 17.

I think that cerfews should only be for kids 12 and under because its not fair for the teenagers that are trying to just hang out with there friends. and whgats the fun for kids who are inside doing nothing when there is things to be done!!!!!!

I think that curfews are not good because of a lot of reasons like taking nights away from kids who are just trying to chill away from home..i think it should be for younger kids not teenagers already going to their adult life? i mean its unfair for all of us teenagers who are trying to be independent!

I think that cerfews should not be submitted to teens 15 and up because it takes away most of the night for those who have lots of things to do and it is less fun worring about the cops getting you for a cerfew ticket.

I think that there shouldn't be curfew laws because they enable teenagers to do what they love to do. so they should either make later curfews or elimanate them.
