Question: What is the curfew and what happens if I'm out past that time?

Answer: Curfew times are different in every city. You need to check with your city offices to find out what curfew times and dates are.

In Phoenix, the curfew is

10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for kids 15 years old and under, 7 days a week

 

12 a.m. Midnight to 5 a.m. for 16 and 17 year olds every night

 

If you are out after curfew, this is an incorrigible act and you could be arrested and prosecuted. Sometimes the police call the parents to pick up the kids.

To find out more about curfews, you can check the curfew topic in the laws section.

I dont like the thought of having a curfew. Michigan is thinking about changing the curfew for 16 and under to 8 pm. that is wayyy too early. Its still light out at that time. I think it should be up to the parents on what time they want their kids to be inside at home.
