The curfew is the most arbitrary, draconian and likely unconstitutional aspect of the new lockdown. Freedom of movement is a fundamental right. If I choose to walk my dog after 9 or rise at 5 to go for a jog, I pose no danger to anyone. There are no good grounds to prohibit that.
It’s a legal question. The right to free moment
may only be limited to the extent that the limitation is reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom.
Social gatherings are already prohibited, we must wear a mask outside. Restaurants and public venues are closed by 9. How does confining people to their homes from 9 pm to 5 am mitigate the hazard? Enlighten us.
Seems to me the safest and most responsible time to walk your dog, or go for a jog is when fewer people are about, not more. What are the health benefits of curfew? To justify a curfew you need to explain why curfew is reasonable and necessary to control the epidemic.
