Under the curfew, the governor said he doesnt anticipate police pulling over motorists over after 10 p.m. But, if theres a group of people hanging out at a park after 10 p.m., an officer might want to talk to them.
Violation of the curfew would be a second-degree misdemeanor, DeWine said.

DeWine is still a weasel, but this is an excellent decision. After three weeks, he'll re-evaluate the potential necessity of a shutdown.

My news source updated shortly thereafter, though, indicating it could only potentially affect people seen congregating during those hours. Whew!
