密苏里联邦法官对性罪犯的万圣节“无糖果”标志要求违反了第一修正案。 Missouri federal judge rules Halloween "No candy" sign requirement for sex offenders violates First Amendment.

美国密苏里州的一位联邦法官裁定, 要求已登记的性犯罪者在万圣节上贴上"在这个住所不准糖果或甜点"的标志, A Missouri federal judge ruled that a law requiring registered sex offenders to post "No candy or treats at this residence" signs on Halloween violates the First Amendment by imposing "compelled speech." 虽然这一规定被废除,但法官支持其他措施,规定罪犯在万圣节时间留在室内,关灯。 While this provision was struck down, the judge upheld other measures mandating that offenders stay indoors and keep their lights off during Halloween hours. 专家们认为,这些法律可能无法有效加强儿童的安全,因为大多数虐待案件涉及已知个人。 Experts suggest these laws may not effectively enhance child safety, as most abuse cases involve known individuals.
