[–] stopforgettingit@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 child) A no soliciting sign doesn't stop solicitors, so I don't see why a welcome mat should have any more power. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jake_jake_jake_@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (3 children) Depending on the jurisdiction, soliciting often requires a permit and conditions of the permit include obeying no soliciting signs. Failure to obey typically means the permit can be revoked, or it could be a criminal offense. Could be worth looking into that for your area. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] lonefighter@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago The apartment complex where I live is posted no soliciting. Management heavily encourages people to call the police if solicitors ignore the sign. Even more shocking, the police will actually come and throw solicitors off the property if they're contacted. (This is also the same police department that tracked down and got an arrest warrant for the random stranger who broke into my car the day after it happened) permalink fedilink source parent [–] stopforgettingit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago Thank you friend for that tip, I am going to look in to this. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (1 child) is it a specific local code violation or a state thing? because it can't possibly be a federal violation, i am certain it ain't a federal permit. when i search for [my town] + [solicitation] i get a bunch of pages on how to make a bid on projects with the town. but i have the high. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jake_jake_jake_@lemmy.world 1 point 1 week ago Try looking up "peddlers permit" aka hawking, canvassing, and soliciting.
