Halloween is a time for candy and costumes but it’s also a time for pranks which unfortunately can lead to people getting arrested.
Some Halloween pranks are all in good fun but too many of the popular ones involve breaking the law. Like other major holidays, police are out making sure that everyone is safe which means you’re more likely to get caught.
Not knowing the law is never an excuse when it comes to crime so here’s a quick refresher on what not to do this Halloween.
Just because you’re staying on the right side of the law doesn’t mean Halloween has to be a drag. Check out a haunted house, trick kids into thinking you ran out of candy, or go to a costume party to celebrate the holiday.
Or have a scary-movie watching marathon and eat too much candy. Whatever it takes to have fun without breaking the law.
