While city police have been more watchful in recent years for those asking for money on local street corners, some are still concerned for the safety of those who step into the roadway asking for cash.
Lt. Clayton Williams tells WGNS listeners about the law surrounding the roadway and those who step into traffic...
According to city codes, you cannot solicit after sunset or before sunrise in the city limits of Murfreesboro. The code also states that no one can solicit within 25 feet of an outdoor dining area or within 25 feet of a crosswalk. The codes even go as far as stating that it is unlawful to mislead someone while soliciting - "Stating the donation is for food but in reality is used for illegal drugs or alcohol."
