It is telling that the guy didn't say, "Hey!! I live there!" He said no such thing. He and four other guys were sitting in his aunt's driveway. That's not "at home" or on his own private property. That's on somebody else's private property. The purpose of an emergency curfew is that people go home or are holed in where they'll be sleeping for the night. It's a chicken-**** arrest though. But it does let them get people off the streets.
That's where he was. If the curfew is in place at that time and he's there, he certainly not going to be going home to any other place since he's not allowed on the streets, is he? The same with the others. For whatever reasons he was obviously staying at his aunts house for at least that night.
Try again.
Focus on what I actually said this time, and not what you think I said.
But way to show it is too difficult for you to find. :lamo
See your kitty twin above. ^ (from the quoted post. Not where this one ends up )
I also suspect that it will be possible in some states for the Governor to define it as he sees necessary. I can certainly imagine a variety of situations where it would be advantageous to have a flexible definition.
I can see that as well, but there would still have to be something somewhere that give the Governor that power and there would have to be the executive order issued that details what that specific curfew entailed. All I am asking is for official legal wording that shows that these individuals were indeed violating the curfew and not just the victims of some overzealous police and city officials.
Funny. One would think that you would slink away in embarrassment when you are wrong, but you never do.
I pointed out what we were dealing with. Which was not your absurd juvenile curfew code from Boise, but with Curfew under a state of Declared Emergency.
Then there should be a written document about this. Please do provide.
None of which are law or part of any "Declared Emergency". It has often been shown that legal definitions can vary from those in dictionaries. With regards to what the police can do, only the legal definition is applicable, which is why such things are defined in laws.
It is also funny that you ignore what they were actually charged with, failing to disperse.
Again dispersing to where? They were already where they were dispersing to. Since the curfew is in place at the time of their arrest they certainly were not going to be traveling to any other residence. Therefore they were at the place where they were going to be spending the night. It would be interesting to know if they have applied this same standard to a single person who was outside smoking during curfew hours.
No they didn't.
That is why they were charged with it.
So police never make the wrong charges?
As an aside, it's kinda of kewl to watch the avatars of Excon and Dezaad go back and forth. Almost makes you wonder if they're some kind of MPD person.
