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.

Wow, maybe you should be more worried about school and proper grammar usage before you worry about being out late at night.

yeah, I really agree with that. It is so stupid to have a curfew when anything can happen any time of the day. I mean sure its diffrent if your at a party and theres drinking but if your under age you should not be there anyways. Plus what about on New Years eve? So you have to leave a party at 10:00 Just to make curfew. whats the point of even doing anything?
