I think curfew is stupid! If kids are out at certain times then they must be doing something. Instead of being at home being a couch potato.

I think curfew is good because of safety matters. Minors have no business on the streets after certain hours. Curfew is a good way to keep more people safe especially minors.

Curfew is incredibly stupid, it is against our first amendment rights and it is insulting! The first amendment clearly states that there can be no law abridging the freedom to peacefully assmeble, which basically means the law can't stop you from 'hanging out'. It is insulting because if they're afraid we'll do drugs or something, couldn't anyone do that at anytime? An If it's to protect us, then why don't they have a curgew for elderly people?
