http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/offbeat/no-trick-or-treating-for-teens-20101025 Over the age of 12? Really? I think this is some B.S. Jailed or fined for going to trick or treating on Halloween.. HAHAHHAA.. crazy.
1887: Population of last Bellevue, Illinois census. I'd love to see the comprehensive list of other cities allegedly cracking down the article mentions. One tiny rural city in the middle of nowhere "cracking down" does not a vast country wide conspiracy to defraud teenagers of free candy make.
Just claim you are a chaperone and you can go at any age. :Pmindstorm
lol have the kid go ring the doorbell and when they person is going to give them candy...WHAM! put your bag out there and take it all. 8) lol well if u have little cousins like I do, you can go through their candy. :P haha
12 seems like a reasonable cutoff to me. We get a few teenaged trick-or-treaters every Halloween. I give them each one piece of candy. I'd like to tell them they're too old and I'm giving them nothing, but if I did that, I'd have to stand around outside all night to make sure none of those delinquents come back and egg my house.

This isn't that huge of a problem. It's similar to the law in France preventing Muslim women from wearing burqas. I would be against it though if I had a say in the matter.
I see a lot of teens go trick or treating every year, not really for the candy, but for the fun and socializing, this is pretty stupid, and 12 year olds aren't really the kid-scaring, candy-stealing crowd, it's mostly the 16-18 year old crowd. I wouldn't mind them doing this to the groups of 16-18 year olds that travel around in huge groups and steal kids' candy, though.
[size=11]Doesn't that town's police force have better things to do than jail those over 12 for trick or treating? :| [/size]msudude211
I guess not, don't bother with all the other actual dangers of the the town, it's those damn 13 year olds innocently trick-or-treating that belong behind bars...:roll:

[size=11]Nothing like spending tax money on nabbing those pesky thirteen year olds! :P[/size]
I'd like to see em try and stop me from trick or treating. I don't care if I'm 12 or 40, if I want to knock on the doors of strangers and demand candy, I'm going to.
Your not cute, its more of a childrens thing. Teenagers try to act all adult but then go out and ask for candy? Im 15 and I usually just buy my own candy and watch tv, I was thinking of going out this year or just watching a scary movie.

someone defends this? i honestly give up the government has NO RIGHT to pass this kind of law NONE
Is this even legal? :? I know there is some teenagers who go trick-or-treating because they have to take care of their little brother,sister, niece or whatever.
I'd say when you get into highschool, stop. I stopped at 6th grade. It's a little pathetic for teens and young adults to be trick or treating. wait a day and buy a box of candy for yourself for $5.
While I think that people over 14 going trick-or-treating by themselves usually deserve to be rebuked and shamed, that's a BS law. There are a lot of cases in which it's acceptable, like if you're accompanying a young kid.
