I think the police can disperse when they think violence will escalate.

Say you have opposing factions protesting each other (let’s say people seeking independence versus those who want to remain a colony somewhere). Should police just allow them to beat each other or instill some order?

Should doesn't matter, are curfews legal?

>>viklov+p
Well curfews are enforced at the municipal level.

Some places have teen curfews and such and I’m not sure they have been struck down everywhere, so I think the lagality varies by jurisdiction.

It is an interesting question with intersectionality with remain in place orders as well. Can the gov keep you from going places? Seems most states have had some shelter in place orders.

NY state has suspended Habeas Corpus and federal forces in DC have violated the ENTIRE bill of rights (including the third!) so I think legal/illegal is a bit of a moot point to make.

>>freeon+P4
Wait, where has the Third Amendment been violated?

I think you're getting wires severely crossed there. The National Guard is staying at hotels, but the government'll certainly be paying for that lodging.

There's a dispute over who pays (Feds vs DC):
