Walking at Night on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, a Crime?

A curfew has been the law on Venice Beach since 1989, but the Los Angeles Police Department has never enforced it on the Boardwalk. Now, in response to neighborhood complaints, it's in effect from midnight to 5am. Curfew enforcement was approved by a committee of the Venice Neighborhood Council and Councilman Bill Rosendahl.
