[quote=Anonymous]There is no chance. Trinidad had a curfew and restricted access back in the 00s when it was an open air drug market and it was struck down as unconstitutional. You can’t institute that kind of restriction on freedom to move on a permanent or rolling basis. It can only be done in response to an immediate threat (like the curfew implemented on Jan. 6). The shootings the last two days are awful, especially the senseless death of such a young child. But the idea that we can solve this by tightening control over citizens is naive. We need to address the root causes of this violence, including neglect of impoverished black neighborhoods, lack of economic opportunity for young people in this city, and the availability of guns. Long term, those are the things most likely to make everyone safer. A 10pm curfew won’t do anything.[/quote]
