The government has used declaring curfews, establishing "protest areas" as the only place protesters may be, requiring a permit to have a protest gathering or march, and other rules that effectively criminal peaceful protests by which the police may arrest and criminally prosecute all protesters - and anyone who does not agree they can be basically placed under house arrest at night.
Curfews for adults is a very different set of issues for adults than it is for children.
There are other questions such as having an inherent right to be in public, as opposed to basically under house arrest every night in your own home.
I would imagine bars are none too happy with a 10 pm curfew nor are companies and employees of night shifts.
Is a curfew, "designated protest area," and a requirement to obtain permits for a protest rally or march legitimate? Unconstitutional? Good ideas?
