If he caught the panhandler in the roadway collecting money when the light turned green, he'd give the panhandler a ticket for unsafe pedestrian in the roadway or something like that.

He was absolutely ruthless lol but panhandling essentially stopped in that intersection.



50 dollars for being in a crosswalk if the little red pedestrian hand sign is up. Brutal.
Nice. I wish cops still give af about these bums.

Some are pretty ruthless. I work in IL and they park on the side of the road in a nice rental asking for money for gas. Theyll say they were on the way to the airport or to a funeral and just need a few bucks for gas. In exchange they’ll give you jewelry as a ‘reward’ for your kindness only to find out it’s fake later.

That or they’ll fake play violins in the parking lot

I just always tell them "sorry, I don't carry cash" and continue walking right by. And honestly 90% of the time that's true. There is hardly a need to carry physical currency anymore and the sooner no one does, the sooner we can eliminate beggars begging.

What's the difference between panhandling at X main Street America, and you havging the choice to give or not...vs..


Ukraine, Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc panhandling... only if you don't pay taxes, you go to prison?

America first. I'd rather my extortion money go to anyone here in the US first, than a ****bag corrupt govt overseas.
