Indiana Cities Eye Summer Curfew Law

Palladium-Item :

"With summer nearing, cities and towns across Indiana are looking at beefing up summertime curfews to keep youth off the streets and out of trouble late at night.

Until last year, when a new version of Indiana’s curfew law was adopted, it was no crime for teens to hang around in a public place at any hour.


Constitutional challenges have taken the state’s curfew law on and off the books three times since 2000, but Indiana’s latest law won’t be challenged by civil rights groups because it includes protections for youngsters’ First Amendment rights."
