panhandling

There are five towns in Northern Colorado that are the focus of the ACLU of Colorado concerning current laws or ordinances with panhandling. The ACLU has won this before.

In Larimer County, for the second year in a row, Larimer County Sheriff's Office has put video cameras out around the county to deter panhandling in heavily trafficked areas.

I was driving back home from one of my workouts at the gym last week when I noticed a strange thing perched in the median at the intersection of Mulberry and Timberline in Fort Collins. I it looks like a generator with a 15-foot-tall pole sticking up out of it with a couple of security cameras attached. Turns out…that’s exactly what it is. Now why is it sitting there?

Back in December we told you about Larimer County Commissioners passing new ordinances on restricting panhandling. Well, those new restrictions are now in effect. Read on to find out how the Sheriff's office plans to phase in enforcement of the ordinance and what could happen to those that choose to ignore the new rules.

Those panhandlers you see standing in the medians of busy streets in Fort Collins won’t be there much longer. According to the Coloradoan Larimer County commissioners unanimously adopted new panhandling restrictions earlier today.
