    Call your local police department and ask. Ask, "Are there any curfews in the city, and if so, for what ages?"

    Where I live, there's a 10 p.m. curfew for anyone under the age of 16 if not accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or other adult over the age of 25 designated by a parent or legal guardian. Ages 16 and 17 have a curfew of 12 a.m. with the same provisions. There is no curfew after age 18.

    So if you're 16 and after cruising the strip are now loitering out in K-Mart's darkened parking lot after hours at 12:30 a.m. with a bunch of other high school kids and a cop pulls up and starts asking you all for ages, you can lie and say you're 18, but then you'll be asked to show ID like every 18-year-old has, so when it turns out you're 16, the cop will ask who you're with. Now if there happens to be some weirdo 25-year-old there that likes hanging out with high school kids, you can say you're with him. The cop will ask him if he has permission from everyone's parents to have them out this late. If he says he does, the cop then starts calling parents to see? "Ma'am, do you know a fellow by the name of Dwight Combs? He says he goes by 'Cooter'?" Oh, you don't? So I take that to mean you haven't put your 16-year-old son, John Ames, into his care tonight?" Not only is John Ames getting a ticket for breaking curfew, but Cooter is getting charged with one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor for every single minor there.

    Won't it be fun when all those parents get out of bed, get dressed, and drive across town, and simultaneously converge on the police station all at 1:00 a.m. where they'll start a giant b*tch session about all their lousy kids so that they're all good and mad by the time their kid actually gets escorted out in handcuffs that the officer will remove in front of his or her sorely disappointed parents.

    Contact the local police department via the non-emergency number. If they don't know, any curfew isn't enforced, because they are the ones that would enforce it.

    Call the police department.

    Every city, county, state usually have websites. Use them.

    Most cities in my nation have the local ordinances on line. I don’t know about your nation or your city.
