This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmborj THE JUVENILE CURFEW: UNCONSTITUTIONAL IMPRISONMENT Tona Trollinger" Faced with rising crime rates, many municipalities in recent years have enact- ed juvenile curfews. Professor Tona Trollinger uses an ordinance enacted in Dal- las, Texas, as a framework for analyzing juvenile curfews. The author discusses various prudential and constitutional objections to these curfews, including both substantive and proceduraldue process challenges. The author concludes that the admittedly valid governmental objectives underlying such curfews do not override their constitutional infirmities. [T]he [curfew] ordinance.., is paternalistic, and is an invasion of the personal liberty of the citizen. It may be that there are some bad boys in our cities and towns whose par- ents do not properly control them at home and who prowl about the streets and alleys during the nighttime and commit offenses. Of course, whenever they do, they are amenable to the law .... The rule laid down here is as rigid as under military law, and makes the tolling of the curfew bell equiva- lent to the drum taps of the camp.

Over the last decade, traffic fatalities in our state have declined significantly. This is due in large part to innovative efforts to combat drunk and distracted driving, as well as stronger guidelines for new teen drivers. The driving public’s increased awareness and avoidance of hazardous driving behaviors are critical for Illinois to see a further decline in traffic fatalities. Beginning May 3, 2023, the federal government will require your driver’s license or ID card (DL/ID) to be REAL ID compliant for use as identification to board domestic flights. Not every person needs a REAL ID card, which is why we offer you a choice. You decide if you need a REAL ID or standard DL/ID. More information is available on the following pages. The application process for a REAL ID-compliant DL/ID requires enhanced security measures that meet mandated federal guidelines. As a result, you must provide documentation confirming your identity, Social Security number, residency and signature. Please note there is no immediate need to apply for a REAL ID- compliant DL/ID. Current Illinois DL/IDs will be accepted to board domestic flights until May 3, 2023. For more information about the REAL ID program, visit REALID.ilsos.gov or call 833-503-4074. As Secretary of State, I will continue to maintain the highest standards when it comes to traffic safety and public service in Illinois.
  • San Diegd Police Department San Diego, California

    San Diegd Police Department San Diego, California

    03-35 SAN DIEGD POLICE DEPARTMENT SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA C/5 C 3 5 Project Summary: Drag-Net San Diego Police Department The Problem: Illegal motor vehicle speed contests, commonly known as street races, throughout the City of San Diego. Analysis: Officers developed a knowledge of the street-racing culture through undercover investigations, interviews with officers who had experience dealing with racers, monitoring Internet websites, interviewing racers, and exploring the legal alternatives that are available. Officers studied data on calls for service, traffic collisions, arrests, and citations related to illegal speed contests. Officers established baseline figures to determine the size of the problem. They identified collateral crimes that were occurring because of the problem. The officers set goals of reducing incidents of street racing to a level that it could be managed with existing resources and to reduce the number of illegally modified vehicles on the roadways. The most important analysis the officers made was whether they could impact the problem, despite its magnitude and history of indifference by society. They realized they had to change society's paradigm about street racing. The Drag-Net Officers decided they would only be successful if they truly made San Diego a safer place. They knew lives could be saved if their analysis was accurate, and the response was effective. Response: Officers used a multi-faceted approach in a comprehensive response strategy: • Undercover operations to identify, apprehend, and prosecute racers
