Tim Bonham: "Most of those cited 'laws' are fakes, made up (or xaggerated) to
create an entertaining website."
I beg to differ. The ones which have a "full text" link are the real ones, (the
others are extrapolations). In cheryl's link post, check the one about
"standing around a building." It purports to identify vagrants by appearance
and/or behavior of 'people standing around a building.' It includes "unemployed
males" and "fortune tellers" as vagrants.
By that standard, intrepid reporter (and fearless leader of this list) Mr.
Brauer could be picked up for vagrancy outside the public library if he's doing
a story on spec.
It is also badly written with loose pronouns and vague nouns, worse yet, it's
grammar is trifling. The specifics, the categories of so called vagrants, lead
one to ask questions about motives.
The funny laws with full text are funny in a different way.
