Teen: Idaho Curfew Law Illegal

Item: Teen challenges curfew law in Idaho town/KTVB

More Info: David Heida, an attorney representing a boy identified as John Doe, told the court Tuesday that Wendell's curfew ordinance is void because it is too vague, is an overbroad violation of a child's First Amendment rights, violates the Equal Protection Clause, and violates a parent's fundamental right to parent a child.

Question: Are curfew laws obsolete?
