And not one mention of us on the registry who come out only at Halloween to kidnap children, then go back to normal the other 364 days of the year.
But yes, I was surprised of all of the tips, not one about us scary people who peek out the windows supposedly looking for victims.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Parents are being warned about an increased risk of danger on the road for trick-or-treaters this year for Halloween.
With the holiday falling on a Friday, AAA said there could be a hazardous mix of increased foot traffic, more weekend parties and a greater likelihood of people driving impaired.
“Unlike weeknight Halloweens, when people tend to go home early or avoid drinking due to work the next day, a Friday celebration encourages more social gatherings and relaxed attitudes,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesperson for AAA. “This creates a dangerous environment on the roads, especially with neighborhoods full of families walking after dark.”
In 2023, half of all crash fatalities on Halloween night were alcohol-related, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration.

Trick or treat? Coolest air of season hits Florida just in time for Halloween

While law enforcement across Central Florida will be on the lookout for dangerous driving behaviors, they also urge parents and children to take precautions while trick-or-treating.

“Make sure your children have some type of bright clothing on, whether it’s lights on their costumes or reflective vests or reflective material,” Sanford Police Officer Christopher French said. “Make sure they have flashlights so that they’re visible to vehicle traffic and other pedestrian traffic that is out there on the road.”

Hey, Trooper Steve, what are some Halloween safety tips we don’t think about?

Trick-or-treaters are also encouraged to stay on sidewalks and use crosswalks and traffic signals.
“It’s not enough to just dress your child in a costume and head out the door,” Jenkins said. “We urge parents to talk to their kids about traffic safety before going trick-or-treating. Remind them to stay alert and watch for cars before crossing. A few minutes of preparation can prevent a lifetime of regret.”

Machiavelli, if you are on probation, there are certain things they can do that sheriff’s officers cannot even do. Once you are off, maybe you won’t have to do it. But I was told when I was on probation, they could impose just about anything on me unless it is illegal.

My head scratching moment is, why do our families who live with us (If you have others in your house) also have to go through all this like they are on probation with us. I had a pretty cool probation officer and when she came to my house and a neighbor asked who she was, she told them she was a friend.
