(AP) – A New Jersey town now requires beggars to obtain permits and would punish those who aggressively solicit donations. Middle Township defines aggressive begging as speaking to or following a person in a manner that would cause them to fear bodily harm or otherwise intimidating someone into giving money or goods.

Fines start at $250 and include possible jail time.
