I said "you CAN BE cited or even arrested," and I did not impose any
geographical restrictions.

Vagrancy and disorderly-conduct laws are common throughout the U.S.,
especially at local government levels, despite their questionable
Constitutionality and variable enforcement.


For once, i'll side with Anthony.

He sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

One sure method is to walk without any money in your pocket.

In many jurisdictions, you can be cited or even arrested for vagrancy
if you have no money on your person.

I highly doubt that you would be cited or arrested for vagrancy simply
because you were not carrying money on your person, even in France.

More likely, you would only be stopped if you were begging or
harrassing people during your walks. Maybe if you started picking
people's pockets. It might also apply if you were street performing. I
doubt it would happen if you were simply walking around getting
excercise or fresh air. I haven't been to France for a very long time,
but when I was there, I walked around a fair amount and was never
approached by police spot-checking my wallet.

The act of not carrying money is not in and of itself vagrancy. A
vagrant also does not have a permanent home, and refuses to take on
employment. Although probably not spelled out (especially in French
lawbooks) they would also need to "look the part" in order to be even
suspected.

Do you look so much like a bum that you would fear being stopped and
arrested simply for walking the streets? This must present a serious
obstacle for your tour guide business.



Well, the "hiking pants" he advertises on his website should be a crime
in their own right.

Tarver was an evolution denier, too.

He was tons of fun in talk.origins.

Oh God. that takes me back.

Actually, I couldn't handle him. He gave me ice cream heaache.
I once said something like; "Tarver is the Chocolate Gatueu of loons, to
over-indulge is to risk diabetes"


And I actually know what he looks like!

I think he moved, and unlike Anthony, actually had enough intelligence to
know when he wasn't wanted. Having said that, he had a huge fan club!


I just looked. The legend lives on. ..

No. What gave you that impression?

Judah writes:

Your stated concern for being arrested for vagrancy simply by walking outside
without money.

But that's not what I stated. I said that you can't really go outside in a
big city without spending money. Someone else suggested that one could go
outside without cash and thus not spend anything. I pointed out that some
jurisdictions would call that vagrancy. But I don't walk around without any
cash at all, so it's a moot point for me. All of this information can be
obtained by reading the entire thread carefully.

So you dismiss anything that contradicts your own opinion (apparently
independently of its veracity).

Nah, I just contradict stupidity.

And I fly real airplanes.

Well, the hiking shorts and the fact you'd be rummaging around in a
dumpster might worry them.

And you're still wrong, fjukkwit.
