Is it against our Constitutional Rights to have a curfew implemented on an entire city? |
Legally does a city have the right to put curfew on a city of adults? Im asking because I am in Houston during the hurricane and tehy mandated a curfew for the city. I know it is a smart idea do that but if someone is stupid enough to go surfing in the middle of a hurricane they should be allowed the freedom. No, the constitution clearly allows for the president and congress to override certain rights for public health and safety, and sometimes war. It states that Habius Corpus may be suspended during war, which means you can be imprisoned without cause for the length of a war. Depends on the circumstances. If there is rioting or some other threat to public safety going on, then it's OK. Under normal circumstances, this may infringe upon the first amendment's protection of freedom of association as well as due-process protected liberty interests. Their are temporary circumstances that could lead to a legal curfew. I don't believe that a permanent curfew would pass constitutional muster. Curfew by local law enforcement is not a problem ! Yes. If there are too many adults acting like out of control children, they must take whatever steps to protect the general public. Just wait until FEMA takes over. In a national disaster, the constitution goes out the window! No, it does not violate your rights. |
