To correct you, the Supreme Court has found that 'begging' is protected 
speech 
under the First Amendment. However, municipal ordinances (that normally are 
not
heard in constitutional cases) that are written under the pretext of public 
safety, are allowed. However, an out-and-out ban on panhandling, such as what 
you've indicated above, is unconstitutional.
