Another thing to think about is that you want to raise children who obey law correct?
Have you discussed the full impact of your daughter's actions with her? Does she realize that to keep the police from being involved that you have to go to court and file a motion? Are you used to self-representing in court or would you hire a lawyer? Does your daughter know the cost of hiring a lawyer? Would large legal bills (thousands of dollars) have a negative effect on your family's current lifestyle?
You might want to ask your daughter what she is willing to do without in order for you to go to court and get the order changed. First thing that comes to my mind is cell phone. Also, I found it quite curious that your daughter can afford to travel by Uber. Does she have a part-time job and pays for this?
Children at that age are in the "me me me" stage and they make impulsive decisions without thinking things through (no thought of consequence). This is why they are still deemed to be "children" according to family law.
