Practical Information
Note: Some of this information was last updated in 1982
The conduct of an idle person in wandering from place to place with no visible lawful means of support. The idler subsists on charity and does not work though able to do so. The mere possession of funds will not prevent a person’s being a vagrant, however. Professional gamblers and those who live by aiding (in U.S. law) and abetting (in U.S. law) prostitutes have been held as vagrants.
