Madison, WI
One of the most liberal towns outside of California makes it illegal to give money to grifters? Does not compute.

Thursday, the officers posing as panhandlers, were offered more than $300 cash, as well as food and drink. They took nothing, but handed out educational pamphlets; alerting drivers to panhandling scams, and letting them know giving to those who solicit can result in a $177 fine under Madison General Ordinance 12.325(2).
Damn. Also, the first and second comma in the bold section is not needed. I've seen better editing in the quad.

Punish people for giving money to bums, by forcing them to give a much larger sum to worse bums?
Nah
Nah

There was a homeless encampment in the wooded area where Tiger Bend runs into Jefferson Hwy. I first saw it last summer when the residents of said encampment (residents?-Is that the right word?) would stumble out of the woods to go wherever they went. As fall and winter came, and the leaves started falling, it was much easier to see their area of domicile with numerous shopping carts from area merchants.
Not sure what happened, but about three weeks ago a couple of dumpsters showed up, the area got cleaned, and the woods are vacant.
And neighborhood petty crime has decreased.

No, you don't make the act of Charity illegal.
You make panhandling illegal and you enforce it.
That sounds great in theory.
But in reality (1) the panhandler likely doesn't have that much concern about going to jail (2) it's a waste of what is already very little jail space (3) it cost taxpayer money to feed and care for them while in custody and (4) someone begging for money doesn't give even the slightest of shits about paying a fine.

Like those guys would ever pay it

Probably. But I also get tired of leaving C Stores and there being derelicts outside wanting money. Or when I go to petsmart and they're wanting you to donate to some pet charity.
No escape.

When the offramp trolls get the virus they won't be a problem anymore.

Now there's an idea. Tainted bottles of water. They would probably throw it back at you

Speak of the devil...

Outlaw 'aggressive panhandling?' Mayor Broome thinks it'll help address homelessness
