Show Notes
Delawares Attorney General Kathy Jennings proposes a new loitering law to address panhandling, but the ACLU deems it unconstitutional due to vague language that could infringe on civil rights. The bill focuses on pedestrian safety, yet experts argue it lacks clear limits and could lead to arbitrary police actions. The Department of Justice supports the bill, and local efforts in Wilmington and Dover face similar pushback. As sponsors line up, this standoff hints at another legal fight ahead, shaping Delawares balance between public safety and civil rights.
