The Gov just showed his ignorance of the working man.
many of us don't work 9-5, many work 2nd and 3rd shift.
so now those people need permission from the government to go to and from work.
I doubt it. There is still a curfew in many places in Texas. A cop friend said he knew lots of people had reasonable problems obeying the curfew, and they generally don;t bother someone on the road to work. However, if they see someone skulking around a neighborhood where many people can't move back to their homes yet, the curfew allows them to stop and question them, or even move them away from the area. Without the curfew, they can't just stop anyone on a suspicion without a valid reason.
so w/o a curfew, we, Americans, get to keep our right to privacy.
please tell me your stance on 'stop and frisk' if it doesn't mirror what you just said about curfews.....
Stop and frisk sucks, and isn't exactly the same thing. I can see the similarities, and how extended periods of curfew could lead to horrendous outcomes, but this is a temporary and and needed action to prevent the massive looting that would no doubt be occurring without it. No problems this time, but
Rita knocked down my house, and looters took everything of value. I wish there was a curfew then.
