San Diego police did not stop enforcing juvenile curfew violations with diversion programs. They just stopped reporting it in the arrest records.
San Diego Police Department records used to report the punishment for curfew arrests, often a diversion program, sometimes juvenile hall. But beginning in mid-2019, curfew arrest records started listing “null” instead.
Pham said if he doesn’t complete those requirements within three months, he can be referred back to the police department for a misdemeanor. And, she said, she will be issued an arrest warrant if she fails to appear in court.“I think that the police are there to protect,” she said. “I would not think that this level of punishment is appropriate for a 15-year-old child who is out after 10 p.m.”
The diversion program is in City Heights, and Pham and her husband both work full-time. She said organizing transportation is a burden. She thinks of the other families who may not have a car, or may not be able to navigate the paperwork as easily.“When I was in Queensland in the 1980s,” she said, “we were considered to be living under a police state. So this may have been — I think this was even worse than what we would have experienced.
In fact, he said: “There’s no particular approach to juveniles once they’re arrested that’s effective. The truth is, you really just don’t want to be arresting people in the first place. That creates a criminal record. It creates a lot of antagonism with the police.”“They shouldn't be getting away with just saying we're not going to report what we're doing with them,” he said.
