On top of that every possible legitimate charity organization was allowed to stand at street intersections with collection buckets doing the same thing except they were legitimate charities.
Where I came from they would usually pick-up the panhandlers within thirty minutes or less inside the city. If you saw any it was usually on the exits outside the city limits. Even there someone would call the Sheriff's office pretty quick.
