Dallas considers fines for giving to panhandlers
A panhandler asks you for a dollar and, feeling compassionate, you hand over a buck. Moments later, a police officer hands you -- not the beggar -- a ticket.It’s not reality yet, but Dallas Mayor Laura Miller has floated the idea of penalizing the givers instead of the takers. “If that happened a couple of times, and it got on TV a couple of times, I think people would just say, ‘It’s not worth it to give the money,’” the mayor said.
The city’s no-panhandling ordinance isn’t properly enforced or very effective, so other options should be explored to combat what has become a chronic nuisance, the mayor said.
Reaction hasn’t been enthusiastic. Another city council member predicted the idea would not be approved.
