General Bylaws; amended in its entirety 12-13-1978 STM by Art. 5]
Whoever continues to stand, sit, or loiter in
or about any street, sidewalk or any public way so as to obstruct
the free passage of travelers or vehicles thereon, after being directed
by a police officer to move on or disperse, shall be punished by a
fine not exceeding $25.
It shall be deemed to be a breach of the peace and it shall be the duty of any police officer of the Town to order any person so acting as to obstruct the free passage of travelers or vehicles to move on and disperse, and if the person so ordered does not forthwith obey, to remove such person, or to arrest and cause such person to be brought before a Justice of District Court of Norfolk County, Dedham, Massachusetts, upon a complaint made for a violation of the provision of the preceding § 355-8.
The provisions of this bylaw are severable,
and if any of its provisions shall be held unconstitutional or invalid
by any court of competent jurisdiction, the decision of said court
shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions.
