I have to hand it to the City of Belleville.  They approved age restrictions for trick or treating.  The new ordinance states that only those 12 and under may trick or treat (does not apply to special needs individuals).  And trick or treating is only during the hours of 5pm-8:30pm.  In addition, the ordinance prohibits anyone over the age of 12 from wearing a mask.  Police officers will be handling violators with a warn and release method.

Good for them!!  I knew some people might be annoyed by this sort of thing but frankly, I am sick and tired of 16-18 year olds knocking on my door expecting handfuls of candy and being down right obnoxious about it. 

In addition, I don't like seeing adults or older teens running around the streets in masks because there are too many freaks out there and you just don't know who is safe and who isn't. 

So good for them for putting this in place.  I think all cities should!
