Baltimore scrubs up the homeless for the tourist dollars. As far as professional beggers, here in my county, a law was passed stating there will be a fine of $500 and some jail time for begging. The day the law was enacted was the last day I had seen a professional begger in the county. It was a needed law because the beggers were getting overly aggressive and demanding of money. Some getting physical. I watched one professional begger years ago clock out at 5 pm in his beggers spot and drive off in his shiny Ford LTD.
