It's extremely difficult to walk without spending anything.

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.

There is no place in the United States where you will be arrested
simply for not carrying money.

If you contradict this, I agree with the consensus of this group that
you are a moron.

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.

So you dismiss anything that contradicts your own opinion (apparently
independently of its veracity). It's unusual to see an explicit admission of
such a prejudice. Anyway, there is no consensus concerning me, as the vast
majority of persons reading this newsgroup have not offered an opinion.

For once, i'll side with Anthony.

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

Nah, I just contradict stupidity.

And I fly real airplanes.

How many?

Finally something you can speak with authority about!

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.

No. What gave you that impression?
