[Amended by Ord. No. 010, Series 2004]
The provisions of this section do not apply to a minor accompanied by his or her parent, guardian or other adult person having the care and custody of the minor, or where the minor is upon an emergency errand or legitimate business permitted by his or her parent, guardian or other adult person having the care and custody of the minor or is pursuing his employment, or returning from an authorized public or parochial school function or other organizational function which such function shall have been duly registered with the Police Department by a responsible officer of the organization. The prohibition provisions of this section shall also not apply when a juvenile is 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. To exercise the exception for protected First Amendment activities, the juvenile and/or his or her parent, guardian or other person having the care and custody of the minor shall deliver to the Village of Grafton Police Department a written communication, signed by the juvenile and countersigned, if practicable, by a parent, guardian or other adult person having the care and custody of the minor, with their home address and telephone number, specifying when, where and in what manner the juvenile will be in a public place during hours when this chapter is applicable.
Juveniles who fail to notify the Grafton Police Department of their intent to exercise First Amendment activities between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. shall be given an opportunity to provide a reasonable explanation of their presence in public when confronted by law enforcement personnel. Juveniles shall not be cited for a violation of this section if it is determined by law enforcement personnel that the juvenile is exercising a protected First Amendment activity and prior notification as required by this chapter was impossible or impractical.
No parent, guardian or other adult person having the care and custody of a minor age 16 or under shall permit such minor to violate the provisions of § 9.37.010A.
Any minor violating the provisions of § 9.37.010A shall be handled in accordance with the juvenile court laws or procedure.
