Could see a fine or jail time
If your 12-years-old or older don't plan on going Trick-or-Treating in Chesapeake or Norfolk, Virginia or for that matter any city in Virginia.
If you do, might what to save time and wear a orange jumpsuit.
In Chesapeake they have a ordinance that reads: “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, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $100 or by confinement in jail for not more than six months or both.”
According to an ordinance in Norfolk, it’s a Class 4 misdemeanor if someone older than 12 is found trick-or-treating.
What they are trying to prevent is teens from getting into trouble. The City of Chesapeake says, “For example, a 13-year-old safely trick-or-treating with a younger sibling is not going to have any issues. That same child taking pumpkins from porches and smashing them in the street more likely will.”
