Denver Police Will No Longer Enforce Panhandling Ordinance

DENVER (CBS4)– Denver Police will no longer enforce the city’s Aggressive Panhandling Ordinance following a ruling from a federal judge in Grand Junction earlier this week.
“Denver, to its credit, got out in front of that and has already proactively ordered that the panhandling ordinance be suspended while the city attorney considers revisions,” said Mark Silverstein, the American Civil Liberties Union Colorado Legal Director.
The federal suit dates back to February 2014
