Last fall, the Orange City Council approved a law aimed at protecting children trick-or-treating on Halloween by an overwhelming 5-0 vote. Sex offenders living in that city who have offenses against minors are prohibited from decorating their residences with Halloween decorations, must turn off all exterior lights of their homes during Halloween, and must post notices on their homes stating that no candy or treats are available on Halloween. A violation of the law, which is a misdemeanor, is punishable by up to one year in jail and/or up to a $1,000 fine.

This new law may seriously impede on the rights of those accused of sex crimes, especially those who are in the process of appealing their cases.
