ye, but if you collect them enough you seize being poor, so technically there should be some kind of a quota on that... |

If you mean standing on the corner with a tin cup, then yes. If you mean defrauding people into thinking they are donating to a non-profit organization that is really just you, then no. |
|
Its a wonderful life.
|
No. You can only do this if you are rich. But you still get to keep it for your self. |

No. If you induce people to contribute money for "the poor" and you keep it, that's fraudulent inducement and theft.
You can go to jail for that. |

If you give the cops a fiver, anything's legal.
I think if he gives you a receipt, it's also a tax write off. |

As long as you don't state it is going to a certain place, example like you put an add in the paper and ask for donations to be sen to a certain address, anyone sending donations, are just sending donations to that address. What makes it legal is that you don't specify where money is going, so it can go anywhere legally. |

Collecting for the poor as if you are an organization or even implying that it will go to someone besides you and then keeping the money is called fraud. |
