What IS the problem that officials have with buskers? It many cities the sight of a guitar is enough to bring the local cops out.

I was sitting on my own front porch one day with a few friends we were singing folk songs (not loudly) and the police came by and told us to stop.

This is in Phoenixville PA, a town of 15000 or so.
I met a guy in New Hope PA, who HAD a street musicians license from the city. He said he still couldn't play there though because the police kept moving him on.

So, all you policemen out there, these are the questions.
Have you EVER seen a traffic jam caused by a busker?
Have you EVER seen a riot or disturbance caused by a busker?
Have you EVER heard a busker play as loudly as those punks with car stereos? You allow them to play with impunity down our street.
So you bullies with badges WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM????
