If they are out with parents/relatives they are fine. They can also be coming and going from work or home to home. I think the law was originally intended to put a stop to a lot of the late night joy riding that was going on. There were quite a few accidents involving that age group so that was their solution to it. It's really not that big of a deal. Like I said nothing is usually open that late, and if an event is in town, cops don't harass that age group as long as they are behaving and at least headed home.akmom said:Wow, I can't imagine living like that! Who are they to tell an adult where they can be at night? My husband and I love to go on midnight walks. We often take our kids out on late night walks to see the stars, watch the auroras or listen for owls. If a particularly good meteor shower or auroras are predicted, we put the kids to bed at 7 and wake them up at midnight to see it. We put them in snow gear and pull them in a packing sled down the roadside ATV trail.
When I was a teen we loved hiking at night and trying to scare each other. Obviously not every night, but it was definitely something we thought worth doing! What kind of world is Idaho??
Hell, most places aren't even open on Sundays. It's a pretty conservative, religious state. Originally it was quite the culture shock for this California girl.
