Peace and good order — See Ch. 187.
Unnecessary conduct which may tend to annoy, intimidate, threaten or otherwise disturb another in or about any public street, sidewalk, bridge or public ground which is offensive to the public morals or decency of the citizens of the City of Hudson.
No person shall loiter in, on or about any public street, public sidewalk, street crossing, alley, bridge, public parking lot or other place of assembly or public use after being requested to move by any police officer.
No person shall loiter in or about the toilet open to the public for the purpose of engaging in or soliciting any lewd or lascivious conduct or any unlawful act.
No person shall loiter in or about any private premises or adjacent doorways or entrances or upon private property held out for public use, including but not limited to business or industry parking lots or shopping malls, without invitation from the owner or occupant or from any person in authority at such places. No person shall loiter in or about the doorway, stairway, steps or entrance of any business place or private residence without the expressed consent of the owner thereof or at any time other than usual business hours. Under this subsection, "business place" shall include a public building at such times that the same shall be closed for the usual and normal business conducted thereat.
No person shall sit, lie or otherwise recline upon or against any parked motor vehicle without the expressed consent of the owner thereof, whether such vehicle is parked upon a public street, alley, parking lot, driveway or private premises.
No person shall loiter or prowl in a place, at a time or in a manner not usual for law-abiding individuals under circumstances that warrant alarm for the safety of persons or property in the vicinity. Among the circumstances which may be considered in determining whether such alarm is warranted is the fact that the person takes flight upon appearance of a police or peace officer, refuses to identify himself or manifestly endeavors to conceal himself or any object. Unless flight by the person or other circumstances make it impracticable, a police or peace officer shall, prior to any arrest for an offense under this chapter, afford the person an opportunity to dispel any alarm which would otherwise be warranted by requesting him to identify himself and explain his presence and conduct. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this section if the police officer did not comply with the preceding sentence or if it appears at trial that the explanation given by the person was true and, if believed by the police or peace officer at the time, would have dispelled the alarm.
§ 157-5 Underage persons. [1]
Underage persons and intoxicants. No underage person shall enter, remain or loiter in any premises, public or private, where fermented malt beverages or other alcohol beverages are served, sold, dispensed, given away or made available, unless such underage person is accompanied by a parent, guardian or spouse who has attained the legal drinking age.
