Sex Offenders on Halloween

Why doesn't Charlotte do something like this on Halloween?

Halloween Crackdown on Sex Offenders

Gaston County Police say they want to make sure no sex offenders are on the streets Halloween night bothering trick-or-treaters.

They have announced a program that forces all sex offenders on probation to go to the Gaston County courthouse on Halloween night between 6 and 9 p.m.

Sex offenders who don't show up will be arrested.

A police officer told WBTV they will even go to the sex offenders' house and pick them up if needed. Story Created: Oct 20, 2006 at 9:37 PM EST

Great question, JC.

I e-mailed CMPD to see what plans they have on Halloween night for sex offenders. If and when I get a response, I will post.
