Perhaps because COVID is not more prevalent at night? Or maybe GP feels that walking ones dog at 11:45pm is safer than walking it when more people are outside? Or perhaps they are sociopathic maniacs who look for nonsensical regulations they can violate with impunity.
Agreed, and that also raises the question of why the original poster chose to include the bit about breaking curfew in the first place. The comments stands up just fine without it, it's not important to the story they were telling, and all it's done is created an irrelevant, pointless subthread. And I am a part of the problem for contributing to it.
Who cares why, and what business is it of yours?
