Police Curfew Enforcement Explained

Summary

In Vermont, police officers can enforce curfews set by event organizers, even if parents disagree. The officers role is to maintain safety and order. If you believe the officer acted unreasonably, you can file a formal complaint with the local police department. However, it seems the officer acted within their legal rights in this situation.

Well I am just curious if the police officer was in the wrong for not allowing me to communicate an explanation on my behalf and not letting me share that my parents did not care about the time I chose to come back up to the room. But since the officer refused to listen to me he was thinking I was disobeying my parents.
It sounds like a frustrating situation. In Vermont, police officers generally have the authority to enforce curfews set by event organizers or hotel management. However, they are also expected to listen to reasonable explanations. Here are some points to consider:
- Curfew Enforcement: Officers can enforce curfews set by event organizers or hotel management.
- Communication: Officers should ideally listen to reasonable explanations unless there's an immediate safety concern.
Would you like to know more about filing a formal complaint, or do you have a specific legal action in mind?
But if my parents who show more authority then the program director, does this still mean the same thing or does this mean my parents have the higher authority?
In this situation, the program director's rules and curfew for the event generally take precedence over individual parental permissions, especially in a group setting like a hotel event. The police officer's role is to enforce the event's rules for safety and order. If you believe the officer acted unreasonably, you can file a formal complaint with the local police department.
Would you like to know more about the complaint process?
So, legally the police officer was just enforcing the rules and was doing it legally meaning not violating anyone's rights?

Alright thank you so much for the legal explanation of things!
