ORDINANCE NO. 606, AS ADOPTED May 14, 1992 page 17 of McCall, Valley County, the State of Idaho, or the United States, and includes without limitation appurtenant structures, rest rooms, utility service poles, utility lines, playground equipment, streets, paths, sidewalks, other paved areas, monuments, statuary, bridges, tables, benches, fences, fireplaces or pits, permanent signs and boundary markers, landscaping materials, trees, shrubbery, and flowers, native or imported, and boulders and other landscape features, including rock cliffs and faces adjoining public roads. 5-5-102 DISORDERLY CONDUCT DEFINED. "Disorderly conduct" means violent, noisy, or riotous behavior, and behavior that would be frightening or offensive to a reasonable person who might be expected to be in the vicinity, and includes but is not limited to: (A) Engaging in or soliciting anyone to engage in lewd, lascivious, or dissolute behavior or speech in a public place, or in a place open to the public, or in view from a public place; or (B) Accosting other persons in any public place or in any place open to the public for the purpose of begging or soliciting alms; or (c) Having in ones possession any instrument, tool or other implement for picking locks or pockets or opening locked vehicle doors, or any other implement that reasonably may be inferred to be for gaining access to locked places, while not being by employment a locksmith or otherwise possessed of a business or personal need for such tool, instrument or implement at the time and place in question; or (D) Loitering, remaining, or wandering upon the streets or public parks or from place to place, without apparent reason or business and refusing to identify oneself and to account for ones presence when requested by a police officer to do the same, if the surrounding circumstances are such as to indicate to a reasonable person with the knowledge and experience of a police officer that the public safety or peace demands such identification; or ORDINANCE NO. 606, AS ADOPTED May 14, 1992 page 19 (B) (c) Where the property involved is that of the offender's spouse, no prosecution for theft may be maintained unless the parties were living in separate abodes at the time of the alleged theft. In any prosecution for theft committed by trespatory taking or the offense previously known as embezzlement, it is an affirmative defense that the property was appropriated openly and avowedly, and under a claim of right made in good faith. It is not a defense to a theft committed by such conduct that the accused intended to restore such property taken, but that fact may be considered by the court to mitigate punishment if the property is voluntarily and actually restored (or tendered) prior to the filing of any complaint or issuance of any citation; but this provision does not excuse the unlawful retention of the property of another to offset or pay demands held against the accused. (D) It is an affirmative defense to a prosecution for theft by extortion, committed by instilling in the victim a fear that he or another person would be charged with crime, that the defendant reasonably believed the threatened charge to be true, and that the defendant's sole purpose was to induce the victim to take reasonable action to make good the wrong which was the subject of such threatened charge.
