Temecula, CA Public Conduct: Aggressive Panhandling (2026)

65 was adopted under the city's constitutional police power (Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution) and cites Los Angeles Alliance For Survival v. City of Los Angeles (2000) 22 Cal. 4th 352 as the basis for regulating solicitation without violating free-speech protections. 040 spells out five behaviors that qualify: conduct likely to make a reasonable person fear bodily harm or property loss or feel intimidated into paying; intentionally touching a person or an occupied vehicle without consent; intentionally blocking or interfering with a pedestrian's or vehicle's safe passage, including forcing evasive action; using violent or threatening gestures; and persisting in following or approaching someone after that person has said they do not want to be solicited.

060 bans all solicitation, aggressive or not, at specific locations: within 25 feet of a financial institution entrance during business hours or an ATM while in use, in public parking lots or structures after dark, in or within 50 feet of a public transit stop, from vehicle occupants stopped at gas pumps, within 25 feet of a shopping-center driveway, on any street median, and in outdoor dining areas or public restrooms. 060's location bans.
