In the following exceptional cases a minor on a city street during the nocturnal hours for which § 130.02 is intended to provide the maximum limits of regulation (and a clear general guide for minors, their parents and their fellow-citizens) shall not, however be considered in violation of this subchapter.
(A) When accompanied by a parent of the minor;
(B) When accompanied by an adult authorized by a parent of the minor to take the parent's place in accompanying the minor for a designated period of time and purpose within a specified area;
(C) When exercising First Amendment rights protected by the United States Constitution, such as the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech and the right of assembly; (The minor shall evidence the bona fides of the exercise by first delivering, to the Mayor, or his or her representative (the officer on duty) a written communication, signed by the minor and countersigned if practical, by a parent of the minor with their home address and telephone number, addressed to the Mayor of the city specifying when, where and in what manner the minor will be on the streets at night (during hours when this subchapter is otherwise applicable to the minor) in the exercise of a First Amendment right specified in such communication.)
(D) In case of reasonable necessity but only after the minor's parent has communicated to the city police station personnel the facts establishing the reasonable necessity relating to specified streets at a designated time for a described purpose including points of origin and destination; (A copy of the communication, or of the police record thereof, duly certified by the Chief of Police to be correct, with an appropriate notation of the time it was received and of the names and address of such parent and minor, shall be admissible evidence.)
(E) When the minor is on the sidewalk of the place where the minor resides;
(F) When returning home, by a direct route from (and within 30 minutes of the termination of) a school activity, or an activity of a religious or other voluntary association, of which prior notice, indicating the place and probable time of termination, has been given in writing to, and duly filed for immediate reference by, the Chief of Police or the officer assigned by him or her on duty at the police station, thus encouraging (here as in other exceptional situations) conduct on the part of minors involved in such activities and striking a fair balance for any somewhat conflicting interests;
(G) When authorized, by special permit from the Mayor, carried on the person of the minor thus authorized, as follows. When necessary nighttime activities of a minor may be inadequately provided for by other provisions of this subchapter, then recourse may be had to the Mayor either for a regulation as provided in division (H) or for a special permit as the circumstances warrant. Upon the Mayor's finding of necessity for the use of the streets to the extent warranted by a written application signed by a minor and by a parent of such minor if feasible stating:
(1) The name, age and address of the minor;
(2) The name, address and telephone number of a parent thereof;
(3) The height, weight, sex, color of eyes and hair and other physical characteristics of the minor;
(4) The necessity which requires such minor to remain upon the streets during the curfew hours otherwise applicable; and
(5) The street or route and the beginning and ending of the period of time involved by date and hour, the Mayor may grant a permit in writing for the use by the minor of the streets at such hours as in the Mayor's opinion may reasonably be necessary. In an emergency this may be handled by telephone, or other effective communication, with a corresponding record being made contemporaneously, either to the Mayor or if unavailable to the police officer authorized by the Mayor to act on his or her behalf in an emergency, at the police station.
(H) When authorized, by regulation issued by the Mayor, in other similar cases of reasonable necessity, similarly handled but adapted to necessary night-time activities of more minors than can readily be dealt with on an individual special permit basis; (Normally such regulation by the Mayor permitting use of the streets should be issued sufficiently in advance to permit appropriate publicity through news media and shall define the activity, the scope of the use of the streets permitted, the period of time involved not to extend more than 30 minutes beyond the time for termination of such activity, and the reason for finding that such regulation is reasonably necessary.)
(I) When the minor carries a certified card of employment, renewable each calendar month when the current facts so warrant, dated or re-issued not more than 45 days previously, signed by the Mayor and briefly identifying the minor, the addresses of his or her home and of his or her place of employment, and his or her hours of employment; and
(J) When the minor is engaged in interstate travel through the city or beginning or ending within the city.
