T. M V. State Of Florida Case Study

I believe that imposing youth's curfews is not the best plan for stopping youths from getting involved in illegal activities. Besides, the America constitutional law allows for freedom of movement of people whenever they want to, implementing youth curfew is more of an abuse of rights practice rather than crime prevention practice. Personally, I would not apply youth curfews; this is because youth curfews limit individual time to learn, invest on important issues regarding their lives. Youth curfews cause more harm than good to the young people, this because during youth curfews, children are only restricted to stay at their home. Unfortunately, no one often bothers about the activities that youths do when left alone at home during curfew

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

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.

I tended to favor strict interpretation of the laws and rights of this case. The First Amendment should be applid to everyone, regardless of their legal status or age. I didn't believe that the ordinance served the public interest since it didn't have anything to back up the fact that it reduced crime. The ordinance also interfered with the rights parents have to raise their teens as they want to without the overview of the

I, Anthony Suarez, write this opinion to (support the majority opinion on the case of T.M. v. State of Florida. I support the majority opinion, reason being I feel that there is not enough data being presented in order to warrant a curfew, we cannot just believe that the curfew is working we need extensive data to back it. However many leaders in Pinellas Park felt this was ok. This why I side with the majority.

Another important factor is the way in which the enforcers respond to the curfew violators. Sometimes, these minors may not be out after hours because they want to, but because they have no other choice. There are some children who do not have anybody to look after them so they have to make things happen on their own. It is important to be very delicate in situations like this because it could trigger some emotions from the child and they may already be going through a tough time.

Some minors receive fines for curfew issues up to five hundred dollars, or even have to do work for the community. A curfew is a time you have to be in at night. Although many people in The Outsiders didn’t have a curfew, I believe if they had one, it would have helped them.

Also, kids are out walking to the bus or driving to school in the dark for most of the school year. This is because some students have to get up on their own and get ready on their own and walk to their bus on their own and when it is still dark outside and they are really tired and not fully awake especially for those kids driving themselves to school it is not safe. Another reason is that teens are dismissed to early in the afternoon “sometimes well before 2 p.m”. This is a problem because it means that when they get home they might be unsupervised for many hours mostly because there parents work till the end of the

This shows in the Outsiders when Ponyboy got into trouble for staying out till 4 O'clock in the morning with Darry. That led him to running away and a becoming a witness of a murder scene. However, there is an alternative which is to have a curfew. Having a curfew will keep kids out of late night crimes. Studies show that when a curfew was set

First and foremost, city council should make staying out late for teenagers illegal because of danger. If city council makes this illegal, it could prevent some of the kidnapping, use of drugs, or killings. Most things happen late at night because people are less seen, if teenagers are made to be home at a curfew, fewer of these dangers will occur to our town’s teenagers.

Many teenagers have a set time they have to be home by their parents. Usually teenagers must be home from dates and nights out with friends by anywhere from 10 o’clock at night to 2 o’clock in the morning. Each parent has extremely different curfews set for their children, based on the individual level of responsibility and trust levels. Some local government decides to set their own curfews, to keep teens off the streets at night and out of trouble. Many people argue whether this actually solves anything, or is even legal to do, since it is taking away a piece of teenager’s freedom. Although there are many good and bad points to enforcing curfews, they should be less enforced because they do not necessarily keep teens out of trouble,

I made this decision because of the majority opinion reflect, this is more of a situational aspect verses a personal one. A minor would be out at 11pm for many different reasons like, eating dinner, coming home from a friend's house, or even coming home from work. A minors curfew time should be a family's decision and should not involve the government. It should not be a law that a minor should not be allowed to drive after a certain time period. Many parents allow their kid to out until midnight or even later and they are just fine.

The State of Florida v. George Zimmerman was a criminal prosecution of George Zimmerman on the charge of second-degree murder stemming from the shooting of Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012. This case has been regarded as one of the most controversial in a long time, sparking riots and new movements along with an opening of greater conversations about this country’s gun laws, legal system and racial profiling.

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)
