I'm from Philadelphia and the curfew was 11:00 when I was younger. I'm 35 now. The cops didn't "harass" us if we were out past midnight, but they did stop us and ask us where we were going/what we were doing and tell us to go home. I don't consider that harassment. As a teenager that was annoying, and we often ran from the cops if we heard or saw them coming. Sometimes we would get these yellow slips sent to the house stating we were out past curfew. We were never detained. A few times we were taken to the district to have a family member pick us up, and it was because it was around 3am/4am and we were far from home (30-60 mins walking), and were usually drinking. We sat in regular chairs and waited for a family member. Most kids will probably ignore the new 10pm curfew too. The solution starts at home. Parents need to be held accountable. But if that happens people will complain about that too. I'm just not sure what some of these comments are. Very dramatic.
