(A) Before taking any enforcement action under this chapter, a law enforcement officer shall ask the apparent offender’s age and a reason for being in the public place or on the premises of an establishment during curfew or truancy hours. The officer shall not issue a citation or make an arrest under this section unless the officer reasonably believes that an offense has occurred and that no defense under §§ 11.15.020 or 11.15.030 is applicable.
(B) Each violation of this section shall constitute a separate offense. Any person who violates any of the provisions of §§ 11.15.020, 11.15.030 or 11.15.040 shall be guilty of a misdemeanor or an infraction and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500, or by imprisonment in the County Jail for a period of not more than six months, or by both the fine and imprisonment. Minors shall be dealt with in accordance with juvenile court law and procedure.
