What is the curfew law for cook county in Illinois?

Answer 1

I don't know the specifics of Rock Island County, but this talks about the new Illinois law and the City of DuQuoin's actions to match the state law...

"City commissioners Monday night voted changes in Du Quoin's curfew law to mirror changes in the statewide Illinois curfew law.

The law sets new curfew hours for motorists. The curfew runs from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

The curfew affects drivers 17 and under.

The exceptions under Illinois statute are drivers going to or from work or school.

Du Quoin Chief of Police Michael Ward said common sense will dictate how Du Quoin police enforce the new ordinances. For instance, the Du Quoin Basketball team and its fans are in Sparta tonight for the Mid-Winter Classic. Du Quoin doesn't even play until 8:30 p.m. The ball game will not get over until 10 p.m. and students will be on the road well past the curfew.

Ward said each incident will have to be assessed during a traffic stop.

The local ordinance and state law includes the exception of persons 17 and under who are going to or from school-sponsored events or to or from work.

Police say they largely know the student drivers and their families in the Du Quoin area and intend to enforce the new law, but certainly do not intend to be abusive in that enforcement. "We pretty well know," said Ward."

Under 17, Monday thru Friday, 10;30pm-6:00am. Friday & Saturday, 11:30pm-6:00am. Once you turn 17 there is no curfew.
