Some cities are banning teens from trick-or-treating

A handful of U.S. cities are banning children older than 12 from trick-or-treating, although police insist they won?t actively seek out violators.

Chesapeake is among nine Virginia cities that set age limits to keep teenagers from taking part in the Halloween, and at least three other cities ? Meridian, Mississippi; Bishopville, South Carolina; and Boonsboro, Maryland ? also prohibit teens from trick-or-treating.

?If any person over the age of 12 years shall engage in the activity commonly known as ?trick or treat? or any other activity of similar character or nature under any name whatsoever,? reads the Chesapeake ordinance, ?he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than $25.00 nor more than $100.00 or by confinement in jail for not more than six months or both.?

The city?s website states that police won?t be ?actively seeking out? violations, but many social media users suspected the ordinance would be used to harass black children.
