No, you can’t just pull people over.  Or take pictures of their license plates to issue tickets.  There are still exceptions - as doc points out - to the curfew.  So the police have no way of knowing if it’s a violation. Further to have that as a policy would be disastrous.  We’ve had enough police issues without adding such stops.  Further the pushback from those that still believe in liberty would be massive.  And, unlike the absurdity over masks, justified.

Actually, if the curfew is defined correctly, yes, you can pull people over at will. The exceptions people (essential workers, etc.) have to get a pass. If you show a pass, you are on your way. That is how they did/do it in Europe. Not real convenient, but it works. You have no pass, the cop gives you a ticket and then takes you home. Naturally, if you are on the way to the hospital or something like that, you don't get a ticket and the cop takes you there. You can't cheat by saying it is an exception when it isn't. Maybe messy, but it has been made to work elsewhere. The key is the presumption that you shouldn't be on the street. This makes every vehicle subject to being stopped.
