Be safe this Halloween! The scariest thing out there on Halloween Night might just be the lawmen enforcing city codes.
For example, did you know that in several small towns in Virginia, you're breaking the law and could be thrown in jail if you're out trick-or-treating if you're older than 12 year old? Or if you're out trick-or-treating after 8 pm?

I think it's one of those rules that are there so they can use it to remove a disruptive person on Halloween's night, more than anything.

Police set trick-or-treat regulations here. You cannot wear a mask if you are over 12, but plenty of older kids and adults ask for candy. Trick-or-treat is restricted to 6-8 PM, and the city will move it to another day if Halloween falls on Sunday or Wednesday (because church) or if there's a big football game. It's been that way at least since I've been a parent. No one gets arrested unless there's a complaint.
