В воскресенье 31 мая у нас в Санта Кларе и в соседнем Сан Хосе ввели комендантский час. Какие-то погромщики понаехали и повадились грабить магазины. С 20:30 до 5:00 утра нельзя было находиться на улицах, в парках и других общественных местах.

Впрочем, ничего особо страшного не случилось. Со вторника 2 июня комендантский час отменили в Санта Кларе, а в четверг 4 июня и в Сан Хосе.

About the Citywide Curfew

During the curfew, no person shall be upon the public street, avenue, alley, park, or other public place or unimproved public realty within the limits of the city of Santa Clara. This curfew does not apply to police officers, peace officers, firefighters, or other emergency personnel or civilians engaged in police, emergency, government work, delivery services, essential business or utility services, nor shall it apply to authorized representatives of any news service, newspaper, or radio or television station or network, nor shall it apply to individuals seeking or providing medical care or care for family members or others, or any persons experiencing homelessness.

The Santa Clara Police Department will exercise reasonableness as individuals make their way about the city, particularly those individuals going to and from work and facilitating deliveries. The curfew will be utilized as a tool, if necessary, to combat the threat of looting/raiding.

When there is no longer a credible threat to the safety of our community, the City will terminate the curfew. The City is continuing to monitor the situation closely.
