Answer 1

When you're 18, you're practically free to do anything in California because under the law you're an adult. Therefore you don't have to follow the curfew.

Answer 2

Currently, there is no law in California which sets out a curfew that would apply to all youngsters in the state. Instead, these laws or ordinances are typically passed and enforced by local municipalities, cities, and townships.

Local laws may vary, but most curfew ordinances prohibit minors from being out past 10 p.m. on weekdays and 12 a.m. on weekends. Exceptions to these curfew laws do exist, allowing kids to legally stay out late if they are:
participating in a religious, educational, or political activity;
running an errand for a parent or guardian;
accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult;
working or going to or from their place of employment;
responding to some type of emergency; or
returning home from a school, cultural, or recreational activity.

If you don't know whether your community has a curfew law, call your local police department. If there is a curfew law, get a copy of the law, find out the ages of minors covered under the law, get a list of the exceptions and exceptional circumstances

Answer 3

Just figure that that law applies to you, and ask yourself how you will prove that you are 18? Do you have a drivers license, or an ID card from the DMV? If not then get one then and keep it with you when you're out so you won't have to worry if you are out after 11pm.

Answer 4

i'm pretty sure it's not a state law cuz i've lived in ca my whole life and i've never heard that there was a curfew. i'm been out past 11 plenty of times.
