is it a crime to ask people for money if your homeless

Question

Honestly, why would it be a crime?? You are struggling and in need of help. If you need help, you go after it and ask. So no, it's not a crime. Just make sure that they are spending it on good things and not drugs or alcohol

Moved to Social Studies I don't think there's a clear yes/no answer as this will vary from state/region. Best to look up panhandling laws in your region. Local law enforcement/ordinances, etc. ultimately have the right to ban panhandling/prosecute panhandlers. https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/1215/panhandling-laws

It shouldn't be a crime, otherwise a lot of homeless people could have a lot of charges
