Violations & Fines
A minor caught in public after 9:30 p.m. without a qualifying exception can be detained by a Revere police officer and, under Section 9.16.050, is subject to participation in a community service program administered by the Revere school department rather than a cash fine. Each separate night in violation counts as its own offense. A minor already under a court-ordered curfew who is out past that court-set time faces arrest under Section 9.16.020 instead of just a referral.
