Winston-Salem’s New Youth Curfew

Winston-Salem just rolled out a new youth curfew—kids under 18 must be off the streets from 11 PM to 5 AM on weeknights and midnight to 5 AM weekends. Passed 6-2, it’s already in effect to tackle rising youth-related crime, but critics warn it may unfairly target minority teens and question if existing laws aren’t enough. Exceptions include travel to/from work, being with a guardian, or attending school/church events. Police start with warnings, then fines if repeated. Officials plan to review the policy in six months. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
