Curfew are one of the most unfair laws in the U.S. Its called civilian rights... In AZ, the reason there is a curfew is because "We have had problems with gang activity at the mall". THIS IS SO DUMB!!!!! Why dont they ban all the teens associated with gangs from going to the mall rather than making evry other person suffer because of what a small group has done? Please end this stupidity.
