Not to loiter? Is it illegal?

Just standing around on public property can't be made illegal constitutionally. This doesn't mean that there aren't no loitering laws everywhere, and they are enforced, because it is very unlikely they will be taken through the court system over it.

This sounds worse than Russia. Even Russia doesn't have it. And I'm glad.

Also please fix. Don't be worse than Russia under Putinism.
