Now theres a constitutional right to beg. Begging if its not intimidating or creating fear, theres really no legal way to deal with that person, unless they are creating fear. Reporter when he worked for Rudy Giuliani a homeless man sitting or lying on street or a subway great could be cited, but no more. The courts in this state determined we no longer have that right. If you, the citizen walking on the street can walk around them, they are not obstructing the foot passes. The obligation is on you to walk around them.
