The curfew law was forced October 1, 1012. And the law was stating that Minors are to be off the streets at ten o’clock on both weeknights and weekend nights. Minors on the street during school hours will be arrested on sight. Police will also perform I.D. checks on street corners and conduct gun searches, and Parks says he won’t hesitate to call in the National Guard if the spike in violence continues. And the dress code was, no royal blue, no bright red to be worn by our men or our boys in this community.
In my opinion i think that this is a good law to force curfew on teen to fight against crime, but then again i think its not so good because one of the laws says something about the dress code and how people dress, i think that it should be up to people to dress the way they want in any color.
This article really made me think, is the murder rate in East St. Louis really high that they have to force a law on teens to come in the house at a certeint time, and dress in no royal blue, no bright red? Do people in East St. Louis feel safe at home? maybe it would be interesting finding out what young adults, teens and parents think about this
Good post, but be sure to include the title and author in your first sentence. What do you think of the curfew law here in Philadelphia? It seems that these laws are similar. 90
