US : CO : Elite cop squad to target nude pumpkin run

[General Lighting]

Dozens of police officers are being deployed to the US city of Boulder, Colorado, to try to prevent a zany annual Halloween tradition.
Each year, dozens run down the city's snowy streets wearing only trainers and a hollowed-out pumpkin on their heads.
But, this year, the police are ready to arrest anyone who takes part in the Naked Pumpkin Run.
Officials say they will charge pumpkin-clad runners under the city's law against indecent exposure.
According to the Wall Street Journal, more than 40 officers will be present on the traditional route, with two elite teams of officer patrolling nearby.

cops scared most of them off (although to be fair its understandable as SWAT teams were deployed, only a complete jackass would try and defy armed cops whilst stark bollock naked!)
