Question: What is the curfew in Glendale, Arizona on weekdays and weekends? Also, what exactly would happen if I was out past curfew?
Answer: Each city in Arizona may inact their own curfew laws. A city's laws are sometimes called the 'Municipal Code' or 'City Code.' The Glendale city Code that covers curfew is Sec. 26-53.
That Glendale City law states that it is unlawful for any minor under the age of sixteen (16) years to be out of their residence between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Minors who are between 16 and 18 must be in their residence between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
The Glendale City Law also makes it unlawful for the parent or guardian to allow their juvenile to be out past curfew, either knowingly or unkowingly. It also makes it unlawful for parents or guardians to refuse to take custody of the minor after a law enforcement officer requests it.
There are exceptions to the City of Glendale curfew law. For instance, it is OK if a juvenile has permission from a parent to be involved in a resonable and specific activity like going to the store, or to a school play. It is also OK if a student is out past curfew while involved in an emergency, or while engaged in a reasonable and legitimate exercise of First Amendment rights protected by the United States Constitution (freedom of speech and assembly).
Any minor who violates this law in Glendale is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor. This offense is designated an incorrigible offense for minors under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court.

I also think curfew should cut off at 18. 18 is the legal age where if you screw up, its your butt and not your parents! Besides, I cant tell you how many times I have been out wayyyy past curfew and not been caught :) haha

I think that the law is fair. When you can't drive a car and your only means of transportation is a bike or your feet,there can nothing but trouble to get into.Im sure not every kid is the same, but what do you have to look foward to if at 13 or 14 you are allready out till 12:00? They are growing up too fast these days slow down and put some limitations on your kids.

I think that for kids under the age of 16, the curfew should be about 11:00-12:00 since it's the hottest in the day & only gets cold at night, for instance when me & a friend were outside it felt miserable until the sun went completely down, then about 45mins it felt cool and nice,but then it was already 9:00 and we only actually had fun playing catcg & having a good time in the short time we had to play.Thats why i think curfew should be 11:00-12:00 for teenagers under the age of 16 years of age.

The curfew law should be later if you are of the age of 15-17 and should be removed after 18. I myself do g out after curfew but nothing bad just to either go to the store or go to my friends house. i have been stopped by a cop one time for beign out past curfew and i told him what i was doing (with parents permission) and i was still forced to call home. i think they should move it to around 12-1 and for peopel of the age of 18 again to remove it. thanks
