Curfew (Raleigh: home, employment, neighborhoods)

[rabbitsong]

What exactly does a town imposed curfew mean? Dumb question, I know, but hear me out.

If a town has a curfew from 10pm - 6am, what happens if you don't get off work until after 10? Can they ticket you for being on the roads? Arrest you?

We've never experienced one, so I don't know.

If you have proof of your employment should be no problem. Its likely to avoid looting and accidents.

Does Raleigh have a curfew?

It's possible you may be stopped and questioned by authorities, but if you have a legitimate reason for being out there's no reason for them to hassle you. Unless you're in an area where looting is likely or acting suspicious, I wouldn't expect many problems.

Not sure if Raleigh has a curfew right now. The heavier damaged areas are sectioned off and have cops stationed at them, so those are probably the only places being watched.

Thanks y'all. I was worried about my son coming home from work, but as it turns out, he was doing a good thing. Many of the neighborhoods didn't have power, so lots of people had come to his restaurant to eat.
