How old is too old to go trick-or-treating on Halloween?

One Virginia city is very clear: 12 years old.

Officials in Chesapeake are threatening to fine or jail trick-or-treaters over the age 12 on Halloween to prevent teens from misbehaving on the holiday.

According to a city ordinance code, those over 12 who engage in the activity commonly known as trick or treat or any other activity of similar character or nature under any name whatsoever could face a fine up to $100 or face jail time of up to six months.

Chesapeake Police staff will focus on making sure the evening is safe for everyone, the city wrote on its website. For example, a 13-year-old safely trick-or-treating with a younger sibling is not going to have any issues.

Chesapeake isnt the only city in Virginia with strict rules on Halloween. Officials in Norfolk and Newport News also banned children older than 12 from trick-or-treating, classifying it as a Class 4 misdemeanor.

This, hopefully the city officials grow up and get rid of the ordinance before Halloween.

Horse shit. Imagine being charged with a crime for partaking in a fun tradition? Cities are now literally enforcing "growing up." Virginia is a confirmed shithole now.

I went trick or treating until my senior year of high school. Even now, I'm almost 30 and me and my fiancee have seriously contemplated getting full costumes to disguise ourselves and go trick or treating again.

The 12 year old limit has always been a thing in VA ever since I was that age in the early 00s. I was never aware what the repercussions were for it but cops always made it a big deal. They were more focused on people over the age of 12 wearing masks than anything.

could face a fine up to $100 or face jail time of up to six months.

Nobody I knew who went trick or treating after the age of 13 was ever up to anything good.

Still I'd have to think just make it so that if you're trick or treating under the age of 18 you need parental supervision would be better than this.

Chesapeake is definitely not rural and you have a mixture of both Republican and Democrats.

Norfolk and Newport News are also cities and heavily Democratic.

the stupid amount of farmland says differently. its got pockets of really high income housing separated by large amounts of farmland and trailer parks.

and why the hell did you bring up norfolk and newport news? worst they do is fine the teen.

In my town most people went trick or treating until 14 and my personal feelings are if you areally over 16 and want to go trick or treating go after 6 when most of the little kids are done and wear a ducking costume

No costume no candy

A city having farmland doesn't somehow cancel out its population and urban districts. You're trying to make it seem like it's some small town in the middle of nowhere.

its a county sized city that has no where near the urban sprawl of cities like norfolk/newport news. take a drive across the city and tell me it isn't rural.
