This is one of the dumbest laws I’ve heard about in a long time. A couple of points in the article I found interesting were these:  
Police Capt. Rich Shiraishi said the ordinance would also protect crime victims. For example, about 20 school-age youths annually report daytime sexual assaults. **Shiraishi said youths are prone to narcotics use, robberies and vandalism during the day.** (bolding mine)

Are there any statistics to back this up?

I hope this never passes.
