[Prior code § 9.06(1)]
No person shall loiter or prowl in a place, at a time or in
a manner not usual for law-abiding individuals under circumstances
that warrant alarm for the safety of persons or property in the vicinity.
Among the circumstances which may be considered in determining whether
such alarm is warranted is the fact that the person takes flight upon
appearance of a police or peace officer, refuses to identify himself
or herself or manifestly endeavors to conceal himself or herself or
any object. Unless flight by the person or other circumstances makes
it impracticable, a police or peace officer shall prior to any arrest
for an offense under this section afford the person an opportunity
to dispel any alarm which would otherwise be warranted, by requesting
him or her to identify himself or herself and explain his or her presence
and conduct. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this
subsection if the police or peace officer did not comply with the
preceding sentence, or if it appears at trial that the explanation
given by the person was true and, if believed by the police or peace
officer at the time, would have dispelled the alarm.
[Prior code § 9.06(2)]
No person shall obstruct any street, bridge, sidewalk or crossing
by lounging or loitering in or upon the same after being requested
to move on by any police officer.
[Prior code § 9.06(3)]
No person shall loaf or loiter in groups or crowds upon the
public streets, alleys, sidewalks, street crossings or bridges or
in any other public place within the Village in such manner as to
prevent, interfere with or obstruct the ordinary free use of such
public streets, alleys, sidewalks, street crossings and bridges or
other public places by persons passing along and over the same.
[Prior code § 9.06(4)]
No person shall loaf or loiter in groups or crowds upon the
public streets, sidewalks or adjacent doorways or entrances, street
crossings or bridges or in any other public place or on any private
premises without invitation from the owner or occupant, after being
requested to move by any police officer or any person in authority
at such places.
[Prior code § 9.06(5)]
No person shall loiter, lounge or loaf in or about any depot,
theater, dance hall, restaurant, store, public sidewalk, public parking
lot or other place of assembly or public use after being requested
to move by any police officer. Upon being requested to move, a person
must immediately comply with such request by leaving the premises
or area thereof at the time of the request.
