Because no crime has been committed against the generous people, forcing the beggar to undress while not allowing them to leave is criminal. Assault for getting in their face + battery for pushing them around + sexual assault for forcing them to undress in public + sexual battery if you help them undress + holding someone against their will for not allowing the beggar to leave + attempted abduction if you use force to prevent them from going.

    I remember my mom was once approached by a beggar back in Edmonton asking for spare change to buy food, and when she offered to buy him an actual meal from nearby sandwich shop the beggar simply just walked away. She did this because of a previous experience where she handed a beggar money to buy food and they went straight into a liquor store instead, with no hesitation. She told my sister and I to never give money to beggars, and always to be wary of people who ask for it. It is a shame honestly because I really do want to help people but I can never tell if they really need help or if they are faking it. And with the rising costs of food, it makes this doubly more difficult.

    I once saw a woman with a sign that said "deaf please help" asking a bus driver to tell her when the bus reached her stop. If she's deaf, how could she hear the announcement?
    I once lived in skid row in Los Angeles, and seen food placed next to people asleep on the sidewalk. Hours later, I saw that same food thrown in the gutter. The conclusion I made was that if they can't drink, smoke, shoot or snort it (or provide means to get such things) they don't want it.

      I agree with you but just one thing I want to mention. If a person truly is hungry but you place food next to them while they're sleeping, they probably still wouldn't eat it because 1) they don't know the source (ppl target the homeless too) or 2) pests probably got into the food. I've heard of and witnessed situations where ppl and companies will try to donate spoiled food to get tax breaks or somehow feel good about themselves not wasting it (very illegal and akin to giving out poison to unknowing recipients), and many homeless ppl are not that trusting, even when you're trying to help.

He took it but wasn't happy and didn't even say "thanks" or something like that. He just took it and I went away. 5 seconds after I left, I looked back, to see what he's doing and saw, he threw it into the bin. I was very angry, because I could have taken it with me and eat it later. Since than I never ever gave someone anything again. Not even a Cent. My trust and hope in humanity for such people is lost.

    A lot of organizations make 'blessing bags' with snacks, basic toiletries, socks, etc. to hand out. More than once I've heard of those bags being refused or even thrown back at the givers. The fakers (of all 'abilities') make it difficult for those who actually need help.
    I've also heard stories of people begging outside, like, WalMart, been invited to come in to apply for a job, and they've refused because they literally say they can make more money begging than they can at a more traditional job. As they then drive off to their 4 bedroom house in a new car. With their sign saying "homeless, need gas money" etc.

    Had a family of " refugees " playing violin in front of my local Walmart with a shopping cart where they were begging for food, clothes and money.
    They had a full cart early in the morning when I passed by and when I came back at the red light I heard the violin still. Went to check out of curiosity and it was different items in the ( once again ) full cart and violin case full of 20's and 10's.
    Decided to come back a bit later and wait for the closing. They walked with the cart for almost a mile before stopping at a house. Kids went in and the " parents " kept walking with the cart and at the corner was a van waiting for them. The doors opened and the van was reveleaded to be absolutely full of merchandise.
    Called the cops on em for literally scamming people and it turned out that they were selling the goods on Facebook blackmarket below market value and had been doing so for weeks at different Walmart across the province. Police estimated that they received in cash donations alone, nearly 30K and that's not including all the food, clothes and toys that they sold.

      It actually also bothers me that some ppl who do this make more than some ppl doing legit work; when begging can make you more than what someone going to work makes (i.e., companies are paying less for labor than what one can make begging), something's very wrong with wage policies.

We watched as this guy got out in disheveled cothes, went to the trunk, and pulled out a sign and a pair of crutches. He walked, with no issues at all, carrying the crutches, toward the intersection. As he got near, he then started hobbling along on the crutches, standing on the side and begging for money. Was so sickening to see.

Alert a local charity who might be able to help them, and the authorities if they can help guide, help and advise those in genuine need. Police if you suspect they're fraudulent, trying to expose someone and you're wrong could be catastrophic for the disabled person. Each country, each area will have different support systems.

One time I gave someone that was begging in a local shopping center and gave him $1 and then he went walking away after I gave him the money, come to find out that he is a drug addict. I have not seen him in a while.
    It goes to show that beggars get money to satisfy their addictions.
    Thank you for another AMAZING video! I watch this channel like every day! Keep up the awesome content and educating everyone!

    There used to be this beggar by the 7-11 on use 41 right before you get on 275 to go over the Skyway bridge. I saw this man for months begging there, one day I watched him walk behind the 7-11 put his sign in the trunk of a Porsche, change his clothes then get in and drive away. It was not a 300k porch but it was a 100k Porsche for sure. Then I saw the man at a different location and ask him how his Porsche was running and he acted dumb. My painting crew called the man out every time we saw him from that day on.

    Well that's all true, but most blind people actually have better senses than normal people...
    So there is a pretty good chance they heard or felt something that might be associated to a kick or punch...
    Edit: Also there are many types of blindness, even the "Full Blackness" type of blindness, some can still see the light... and others might simply be able to see on their sides only... there is also color blindness... and alot more!

      True! They can feel the wind coming at them from a large purse being swung so close to their face or hear the rustle of clothing moving quickly and, from prior experience, know what to expect is coming next.

    Take into consideration that if someone needs to fake disabilities and ask fore any spare change, they probably need it more than you think, for most of these people its their last resort.
    I know some of them just do it for easy money but those are only a few ones.

      True. However, in some areas, people can get more money begging compared to working a full time job. Many probably started off as poor and continued to beg because it was easier.

      Or they don't need to fake a disability or use their children to beg?
      If you're truly down and out, don't scam people. As you can see from the woman in Manhattan, she clearly had no need for help. It certainly isn't the case for everybody, but I have no sympathy for people who cheat and scam, no matter what their life story is.
      I see the same people begging day in, day out; standing up in the islands between cars for hours on end.
      They can do something if they are able to withstand the harsh elements, holding a sign up while staring down the drivers for that extra sympathy gain.
      Working a typical shitty job for little pay may not be feasible for some, but at least learn a talent to earn money instead of scamming or standing with a sign, looking pathetic.
      Poverty and homelessness is a terrible thing to go through, as I have experienced my entire life with an actual disability; but I would never be caught dead using my story to beg.

      Yes. Most ppl have pride and shame and don't want to beg on the street, even if it's a scam, so chances are they started the scams out of desperation. But too many also decide it's a career choice instead of an act of desperation

    I live in Anchorage, Alaska. People will look you in the eye, claim to need money, and walk directly to a liquor store or directly around the corner to buy weed or illegal drugs. They have gotten increasingly aggressive and insistent because way too many people give them money in exchange for their antics.
    I no longer believe giving money directly to beggars is kindness. If you want to be kind, donate to charity.

    I once tried to help a teenage girl who claimed to be homeless, however, when I called a local shelter to find her somewhere to live, they told me she was faking it and had a perfectly good home to go to. I was absolutely livid!
    I was actually homeless as a teenager but I never resorted to scamming people.

    I was once driving through Albany, Georgia and there was this couple on the side of the road claiming to be homeless. And the man was wearing under armor shirt and pants and he had on a pair of Jordans while the woman was wearing a bright blue sundress. And they both were relatively clean looking

    P.S. I emphasize the issue about beggars with children walking around with them because apparently, it is a modus operandi in the Philippines wherein beggars will buy children and infants from God knows where and pose as a miserable family who begs strangers for money to survive. And despite their display of poverty, they actually end up earning more than a regular working person in a daily basis. So, I have zero empathy for them.

    used to see these beggars with the tied up legs all the time in china.
    I do recall one guy that i used to see daily in china around 20 years ago. He never asked for cash though and would just take food out of the street bins.
    I still remember one time seeing him sleeping outside of a bank so i gave him a few notes. He woke up and ran after me throwing the money and scraps from the street at me. Would never even let me buy him food. I literally had to go to shops and buy snacks or restaurants to get take out and then pass him and place the items in a street bin so that he would take the goods

    The "Crutch Scam" is common in London, England. It's used often by Roma Gypsies who work in organised gangs. They get dropped off and picked up by people driving expensive cars. Miraculously their so called disabilities disappear when they get picked up as they put their crutches in the boot of the car.

    There was a fake scammer in Sacramento CA. in the early-mid 1980's. She would sit downtown from 10am to 2 pm. She would get the government workers, high-end lawyers and other well paid people at lunch hour rush. She made 250-400 dollars and often more, daily. She lived in a $500k home and was only exposed when a friend/neighbor had to be in the downtown area for her lawyer.
    And then there's the family of four (none of them were disabled) who begged in the Rogue Valley Ashland/Medford OR. area. They begged in the street using their kids for sympathy, on the buses, in restaurants, the mall. Making enough money to send their kids to private schools, live in the better hotels and eat in restaurants (not fast food places). When confronted they had no shame and would become very aggressive towards the person. They soon made it too hot to do their panhandling in the valley and left the area.
