I, The Honorable Nyla Lennon write this opinion to support the majority opinion on the case of T.M. v. State of Florida. My opinion is that curfew was set to protect minors but, there are plenty of reason why a minor would be out passed curfew and there should be system where some minors can exempt the law like having parental permission. Freedom of assembly is very important. All Americans have the same rights there is no age limit to it. Parents should have they say so if there can be out passed curfew for a certain reason like T.M. was out studying that is a reasonable circumstance to be out passed curfew. I am in favor with the strict interpretation. Everyone should have the right to attend to their business without being hassled. Sometimes
My perspectives mirror the dominant part sentiment on this case since I thought the time limitation mandate was unlawful. I do trust a city may have an enthusiasm for passing laws deminishing conduct for the general's wellbeing and security. Be that as it may, I don't think this was the situation; the law was not sufficiently contracted in Pinellas Park. It did exclude every single sensible exemption, and it positively didn't target just exercises well on the way to bring about wrongdoing. Or maybe, I think Pinella Park was doing the inverse. The disagreeing assessment, then again, felt that the check in time statute was protected. They thought it was impartial, additionally calling attention to that I, alongside the
Curfews have been the bane of many young people's lives for generations upon generations. Unlike this instance, though, these limitations were usually set by parents or other guardians. I realize that curfews decided on by cities as a whole also stem from the same place that those set by parents are, that is, in the interest of the teen's safety. However, I do not believe that it is the city council's place to interfere in the personal lives of these people. There are many reasons for teens to be out late at night, such as getting home from work or just waiting to be picked up by their guardian, and a set curfew for teens would cause many of them to be unfairly punished for doing things that can hardly be called criminal. Many teens hold part-time jobs, either to
curfew laws restrict the hours that juveniles may be on the streets or in public places at night (Sutphen and Ford). Some people consider curfews infringing on people’s constitutional rights. Curfews are hard to implement by law enforcement, and, in fact, take law enforcement away from more serious crimes. More crimes occur during daytime hours and more children are victimized in their homes than on the streets. Although curfews are made to protect our juveniles and to deter crime by juveniles, does imposing these curfews violate the juvenile’s civil rights and target the true underlying problems involved in enforcing
Do curfews keep teenagers out of trouble? This topic has always been on the cover page of today's newspaper headlines and a hot topic that has been discussed by every family. What are curfews like? A curfew is a time frame given by an authority like a parent or the government to teenagers below 18 to be home before a certain period of time. So, ask yourself, do you think that by implementing curfews into a teenager’s life, he or she would keep out of trouble. Our group has discussed and came to an agreement that curfews really do help teenagers keep out of trouble. Firstly, curfews help teenagers to stay
Curfew is a set time which teenagers will have to schedule their activities around. Generally, this curfew doesn’t change and helps your teen to understand boundaries. It is a wonderful idea for teens to have curfews because it teaches them to be responsible and also considerate of other people around them. As teenagers, it is natural for adolescents to feel like their freedoms are being taken away and that their parents don’t know what is best. However, curfew is put in place for the direct opposite, which is keeping teenagers out of trouble. Curfew teaches teenagers time management, it could lower the crime rate in local areas, and it could give teenagers an overall better relationship with their parents. Because of these reasons, I
Although having a curfew for it to be illegal for teenagers to be on the streets after ten o’clock p.m. on weekdays or after midnight on weekends would be beneficial in exceptional and deficient ways, many citizens will disagree with having a curfew. The eminently important reason Dierks, Arkansas, should have a teenage curfew is for the security of the teenagers. Another reason is for the parent to have control over their child, instead of their child being undisciplined. On the other hand, having a curfew could hinder maturity.
Is very good that the State wants to care for minors, establishing curfew, but I think that there are more ways to care for them. they can be warn parents of the dangers of the night, and give guidance on the upbringing of a minor, but they cannot force them to do things they are not agree with, since in the end the parent is who decides to give permission or not, because is the one in
Introduction Of Case: New Jersey v. T.L.O. (1985) is a court case heard and ruled on by the Supreme Court of the United States. The case dealt with the constitutionality of the search of a public school student after she had gotten caught smoking in a public school bathroom. The search provided evidence of drug paraphernalia, marijuana, and the intent of sale of drugs. The student fought the charges, stating that the search violated her Fourth Amendment rights. The United States Supreme Court ruled 6-3, that the search was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.
I, Zuleisha Ame Yniguez, write this opinion to support the majority opinion on the case of T.M. v. State of Florida.
Let’s start with why this happened, in my person opinion I feel that this curfew law could have worked out, however officials did not want to provide hard facts to back this law, such as crime data during curfew hours, or any data at all. This is why I feel that the people turned on this law and it was ruled unconstitutional the people were given curfews without anything to support these curfews being helpful. It also did not provide any wiggle room, for example if a family allows their child to stay over a friend’s house into curfew hours to study, he will still be singled out and punishment will be attempted. This shows how this law was
For this assignment I got the opportunity to witness the Florida Supreme Court case Thomas Theo Brown V. State of Florida presided over by Chief Justice Jorge Labarga and a panel of other justices. This case was regarding the appeal of Thomas Theo Brown, a Wendy’s employee who was convicted for fatally shooting his co-worker, Ms. Juanese Miller, back in 2009. He had been sentenced to death following the guilty verdict of first degree murder. Mr. Brown filed a challenge to his conviction, wherein he stated a claim that he should be resentenced due to a lack of objection by his original counsel regarding a claim made by the prosecution. The claim not objected to was that the defendant, Mr. Brown, had premeditated the murder in spite of the fact that he had actually admitted to second degree murder.
Curfews are not in effect everywhere and not everyone follows them, whether it is intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes, curfews that are in effect are not followed intentionally, as previously discussed, or unintentionally. Many times some people don’t even know what the curfews are in set cities; if the city has a curfew set at all. Dallas, Texas has recently set a curfew for teens ages 17 and under. The teens must be inside by 11 o’clock on weekdays and midnight on weekends (Rosado, and Manly). Agreeing to this, Sutphen and Ford argued that different curfews throughout the United States are unreasonable. If teenagers were used to a curfew of midnight, adjusting to a curfew
Teen curfews discriminate against young minorities and violate the rights of minors, also I think that teen curfews confine all young teens based on actions of a small percentage of our population. Curfews are often needed to prevent teens from getting into trouble late at night and many people argue if parents should be held responsible for this. I understand many parents set up rules and other restrictions for their teens to follow, but I don't think parents should take the liability on what their child is doing. These rules are usually given in addition to control, protect, and teach their teen in order for them to know what's right from wrong. In other states, parents are held responsible for their child's actions. If they let their children out past midnight, they could be fined up to $75 for the first offense. The only way minors could stay out after midnight is if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian over twenty one years old.
Just because they have a curfew it doesn’t mean that they aren’t going to get in trouble. It may limit the things they do. Which in turn limits the trouble they get in, but it doesn’t stop them from doing things to get them in trouble. (Wylie Tanton said on April 11, 2012 “I personally think teens shouldn't have a curfew because whether or not they have curfew teens still get themselves into trouble, not only during the night. http://www.collegenet.com/elect/app/app?service=external/Forum&sp=42891)
