Example: A person who owns a store has some individuals in the front of his shop and they are standing around with a sign that says "$1 Moustaches." I am pretty sure this is prohibited, but I wanted to know the exact name for this behavior and how it is dealt with by the public and by law enforcement.
Answers:
Typically you need a city permit to sell something on the sidewalk.
peddling or soliciting
Call the non-emergency number for your police office and ask what they can do.
Peddling.
solicitation
prolly loitering, selling crap without a permit or selling on someone elses property, or trespassing.
or BAD
Soliciting?
It's called window shopping.really by law it could be unlawful assembly or loitering but if they are on the sidewalk or a public right of way and not causing or attempting to incite trouble then they are within their rights. The only exception would be if there is a city ordinance prohibiting the parties action in which case state law would super cede that ordinance but in general, states shy away from interfering with a city's ordinance law in view of the fact that the city government is more attuned to the problem.
