What happens if I don’t want to obey this curfew? Will I be arrested if I refuse to go inside? Will it be a ticket?

Police response to anyone violating the curfew will be to educate and gain voluntary compliance in the interest of public safety. A citation is the very last resort and not the goal. The order does allow a misdemeanor charge to be filed, but again, this is the least desired outcome.
