Reply to comment by IndependentCode8743 in Philadelphia City Council approves permanent 10 p.m. curfew by mjsisko

The point isn’t to punish kids. The point is to give cops probable cause to harass, search, and/or detain anybody they don’t like the look of after 10:00. Curfews are basically stop and frisk by a different name.

I disagree. This is the same city council that passed a bill that prevents cops from pulling cars over for minor infractions such as expired tags because in their view it gave cops probable cause to harass black folks.

Either way this new law that is unrelated to expired tags lets cops literally stop anyone they want demanding proof of age
