Los Angeles Enacts Curfews for Minors in Gaming Cybercafes

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on July 8, 2004 - 6:42am.
Los Angeles -- The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday approved a city ordinance limiting the hours that minors can patronize Internet cafes and "PC baangs", citing school truancy and incidents of violence between teens playing video games. The law will also require cafes to install security cameras and obtain a police permit to operate. Under the new law, which will take effect by September, those under 18 will not be allowed in cybercafes on school days between 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., or after 10 p.m.
