I remember when I was 14 or something and first looked up what “loitering” meant and I was like… In the US cops can harass you for just being somewhere? Not even private property, just existing on a sidewalk? Still doesn’t make sense

Loitering is the dumbest illegal thing right up there with jay walking and criminalizing not having a home.
