More Cities Target Teens With Daytime Curfews - WSJ.com: "In Dallas, the city council will vote next month on extending an existing nighttime curfew for minors to make it broadly illegal for minors under 17 years old to appear in public without adult supervision during school hours. Violators would be subject to a fine up to $500. Parents and businesses that let minors congregate on their premises during school hours also would be subject to a fine up to $500.
Elba Garcia, a dentist who serves as chairman of the council's public-safety committee, said the ban will help the police combat crimes that are 'associated with truancy,' especially daylight burglaries and car break-ins."

I thought that was already illegal most places.
