Renee Hall (right) listened to the concerns of Camp Wisdom NOW founder Edna Pemberton during a City Hall discussion Monday about Dallas' juvenile curfew ordinance. (Tom Fox/Staff Photographer) POLICE [Dallas' juvenile curfew ends Friday — but it may not be dead for long]( [Dallas’ juvenile curfew ordinance will expire this week]( but some City Council members aren’t ready to say goodbye to it forever. Members of the council’s Public Safety & Criminal Justice Committee said Monday that they want to schedule public hearings for a revamped curfew ordinance. Mostly absent from the discussion was the idea of allowing the ordinance to remain dead. The ordinance, with some exceptions, forbids kids younger than 17 to be outside without an adult between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday nights and between 12:01 and 6 a.m. Saturday and Sunday (the wee hours of Friday and Saturday nights). Also, the kids are not allowed to be out and about between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on weekdays. A violation of the ordinance is a Class C misdemeanor, which can result in a fine of up to $500. The curfew, which had won support as a public-safety tool in the 1990s, came under fire late last year from civil rights groups and council member Philip Kingston. They say the ordinance — which the council routinely renewed over the years — allows police to unfairly target minority kids.
