This cant be a law because EVERY kid in Virginia LOVES to trick-or-treat and dress up, well most kids do. Why would they even make this a law????? huh huh?

I don’t know where this originated from and it’s posted on just about every “dumb law” site, but it is not accurate as far as I can tell. Several localities in VA impose age limits restricting trick-or-treating to only children under 12 and many localities prohibit trick-or-treating after 8PM. I cannot find any statewide law prohibiting trick-or-treating nor can any of the “dumb law” sites provide a reference.
CAPTDIFF, you say it is indeed a law. Can you provide a reference, please?

these laws were once practiced in the country but as people evolved more they didn’t get the laws banned from being practiced but they stopped

Just because it’s a law doesn’t mean it’s enforced.

I live in VA. I think that the law was misposted on this site.I don’t think trick-or-treating is illegal ALL together. But more rules and regulations than most states.

This is most likely an old law that has never been taken off the books if it was a law at all.
For all the people who think it is dumb, you simply have to look up the history behind “Trick or Treat” where kids would run through neighborhoods and unless bribed to leave houses alone…they would vandalize the property.
It would not be that surprising to see that a state or community try to stop such actions.
