Several municipalities across the United States have laws on the books that prohibit the times a person can go trick-or-treating – as well as the age of the revelers.
People of a certain age in some American towns could be in for a candy letdown this Halloween, as several towns across the U.S. have moved to limit trick-or-treating to a certain day or hour or have issued ordinances saying that trick-or-treating has a hard age limit. The town of Delmar, Delaware, passed a resolution in October saying that 'there shall be one night of 'Trick or Treat'' that will occur on Oct. 31 between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
The ordinance 'is only on the books to be used in an instance if teenagers are causing more tricks than treats,' Pennsauken Township spokesperson Frank Sinatra said. 'And to date, it has never needed to be used.' 'It is the Township's stance that trick-or-treating should be inclusive and that any child who wants to go out trick-or-treating for the right reasons … should be able to safely enjoy the holiday.
