Exactly my point
That also raises another problem. Youths (like me, although i am 18 so it wont apply) will be arrested for commiting no crime other than exercising their right to freedom.
Most of this kids will have never harmed another human being in their life and have commited no crimes but will get arrested and have a criminal record for going out with their friends (which you do when you are young). I have relatives and friends at this age who dont hurt, scare or damage anyone or anything. Why should they be arrested for going outside with their friends.
Also if we were discussing a ban on 20-30 year olds (who also commit many, many anti-social crimes) or a blanket ban on any other age group or race then their would be outrage. It is only because people are used to treating this age group as lesser people that they think this is acceptible.
Remember this people will eventually be your doctors, and carers.
