Indiana Decisions - More on Revised Curfew Law Rejection

The Indianapolis Star today has this story headlined "Curfew struck down yet again: Judge says state law violates parents' constitutional right to set rules for their children." The lead:

A federal judge ruled Friday that Indiana's curfew law is unconstitutional because it violates parents' right to make decisions about their children.

The action -- the third time a court has struck down the curfew since 2000 -- means communities must immediately stop enforcing the law, which bans most minors from staying out past 11 p.m. on weeknights and 1 a.m. on weekends.

[7/26/04 Update] Here is a copy of the City of Indianapolis' 7/23/04 press release, announcing that the city curfew ordinance still stands, and that it will enforce it.
