Montgomery County weighs anti panhandling bill
Montgomery County Council considers a bill to ban panhandling conducted in an intimidating way that makes people fear harm. Police and homeless program workers back the measure while the ACLU opposes, warning it could mislabel assault and fail to curb the problem. Local advocates urge directing charity to programs for the homeless, not panhandlers, as officers report citations and potential penalties of 250 dollars and up to 30 days in jail.
