New Charlotte teen curfew starts November 1

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – We are just days away from the city of Charlotte preparing to launch its highly debated teen curfew pilot program this Sunday, November 1.

The ten-month ordinance requires anyone under the age of 18 to be off public streets and out of public spaces, unless they’re with a parent or guardian , between 10 pm and six am.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police say the universal rule aims to curb disruptive “teen takeovers.” Exemptions are in place for minors traveling for work, school, or religious activities.
