In 2012, Philadelphia passed a city ordinance designed to curb what leaders were calling “aggressive panhandling” by the homeless. It specifically forbid anyone for asking for money within 15 feet of a building entrance. Philly Jesus, however, was arrested in LOVE Park, far from any building entrance — and for disorderly conduct and failure to disperse, not panhandling.
