Question

curfew for minors

Answer 1

I just found this on the LAPD website. You MUST be with a parent or legal guardian ONLY after curfew! The penalty is fines, community service and/or revoking your drivers license...I wouldnt chance it!

It is unlawful for any minor under the age of eighteen (18) to be present in or upon any public street, highway, road, curb area, alley, park, playground, or other public ground, public place, or public building, place of amusement or eating place, vacant lot or unsupervised place between the hours of 10 p.m. on any day and sunrise of the immediately following day; provided, however, that the provisions of this section shall not apply:

a. when the minor is accompanied by his or her parent or parents, legal guardian or other adult person having the lawful care or custody of the minor, or by his or her spouse eighteen years of age or older; or

b. when the minor is upon an errand directed by his or her parent or parents or legal guardian or other adult person having the legal care or custody of the minor, or by his or her spouse eighteen years of age or older; or

c. when the minor is attending or going to or returning directly home from a public meeting, or a place of public environment, such as a movie, play, sporting event, dance or school activity; or

d. when the presence of such minor in said place or places is connected with or required with respect to a business, trade, profession or occupation in which said minor is lawfully engaged; or

e. when the minor is involved in an emergency such as a fire, natural disaster, automobile accident, a situation requiring immediate action to prevent serious bodily injury or loss of life, or any unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state which calls for immediate action; or

f. when the minor is in a motor vehicle involved in interstate travel; or

g. when the minor is on a sidewalk abutting the minor’s residence.

Violations are punishable by a fine of $250.00 totaling $675.00 with penalty assessments, community service, and/or may affect whether you can obtain or keep a driver’s license number
