Charlotte Considers 9 p.m. Teen Curfew With Exemptions
Charlotte City Council is weighing a citywide 9 p.m. curfew for anyone under 18 to curb teen takeovers and youth violence, a measure supported by police as a deterrent but questioned by some councilmembers who worry it targets youth or could affect their records. Officials say the curfew could be enforced mainly through juvenile court and is prompted by a string of summer takeovers and related arrests, with a vote anticipated in the coming weeks.
