PC gone mad or just a genuine mistake?

Perhaps this is two separate issues, as Oberon touched upon. One is as in the OP: There is a law against begging and begging should be dealt with appropriately. Another issue is what is appropriate, and the way I read it, it's the second issue that is the story.

Much ado about nothing. So, yes, PC is partying again.

Reminds me of this: one of our profs at university, this one for psychopathology, used to greet us repeatedly with this:

"Meine Damen und Herren, diagnostizieren Sie nicht zu oft und nicht zu lange. Finden werden Sie letztlich immer was. Am Ende aber eben nur noch irgendetwas."

Translation: "Ladies and gentlemen, do not diagnose too long and too often. Finding something - you always will. But if you look too closely, you end up finding just anything, something."

I reckon the major flaw here being it is not legally enforced equitably from area to area.

Likewise This is not helped by San Francisco's latest ruling- in effect 'quality- of-life' citations(generally infractions) are no longer enforced by the courts; http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/SF-courts-ignoring-thousands-of-quality-of-life-10611766.php?cmpid=sfc_em_topstories?cmpid=email-premium
