What is with the tickets police hand out for people feeding homeless people?
There are videos all over the internet, Houston usually, but the video is never clear why the ticket. The food is always in takeout containers so the police really have no idea how it was prepared so it can’t be food prep laws. Unless it’s cut out they never ask where the food comes from.
So passing out free food to people is illegal?
( yes, I also saw something in NYC recently but those people were just removed from the building they weren’t ticketed. )
We used to make food for the homeless all the time at the temple we belonged to and no one was ticketed. ( we had to pay to upgrade the temple kitchen to commercial standards though and get it certified ) so I could see if it wasn’t prepared in a ‘legal’ kitchen but that never seems to be asked about.
Unless that is cut out. You never know on the internet
