In some localities they could also charge you with vagrancy if you
didn't have some money on you.


Those laws were held unconstitutional over 40 years ago. Believe it or
not, you can't make it a crime to be penniless.


Sorry, but that's an incorrect assumption. Some jurisdictions still
have that sort of regulation on their books, and they still use them.
