If there is a curfew in place and someone intentionally goes out driving around, they are breaking the law. An excuse of "exercising muh rights, curfew be illegal" could yield shiny new bracelets and a free ride to somewhere less pleasant. On the contrary, if you are coming from / going to work or are going somewhere where you have a valid reason, it's more likely that you'll be told okay, well please try to stay off the roads and be safe.
Driving around and protesting a curfew is similar to walking around in a Walmart with an AR - it's stupid and is likely illegal.
I respectfully disagree on the equality.
Curfews are not typically enforced in my neck of the woods. They increase your odds of police contact if you are out and about and if you’re an idiot or a ‘bad guy’ contact may not result in a fun experience. ‘Muh rights’ may work if you don’t behave like a rooster-vacuum.
As I said from the start curfews are a tool to separate the bad guys from the good guys. I don’t think there are any real teeth in these curfews, and the 14th amendment should nullify any ability to charge someone with ‘breaking curfew’. Does it? I don’t know, but if someone’s only ‘crime’ is ‘breaking curfew’ and they are charge it certainly goes against the grain. We are citizens after all not subjects.
