In order to protect the safety of the public and the security
of property in the Borough, it shall be unlawful for any person to
loiter, either alone or with others, on any sidewalk, street, alley,
mall, parking lot, playground, park, recreation area, or other like
outdoor facility in the Borough, or in or about any building or structure
in the Borough (irrespective of whether the building or structure
is occupied or vacant or irrespective of the use which is made of
the building or structure), so as to warrant concern by a police officer
for the safety of persons or the security of property in the vicinity;
and to fail or refuse to move on or disperse when requested to do
so by the police officer; and then to fail or refuse to explain his
presence or conduct when requested to do so by the police officer
or, if he gives an explanation of his presence or conduct to the police
officer and the explanation is such as would not at the time be reasonably
sufficient to dispel the concern of the police officer, to fail or
refuse to move on or disperse if again requested to do so by the police
officer.
A person convicted of the offense of loitering shall be sentenced
to pay a fine of not more than $100 and the costs of prosecution and,
upon failure to pay such fines and costs, to imprisonment for not
more than 10 days.
