Warm weather tends to bring out people going door-to-door for any number of legal purposes, such as campaigning for political candidates or collecting money for causes.
Canvassers in Spring Lake Heights need to follow specific rules or find themselves running afoul of the local law, the borough's police department said in a post on its Facebook page.
For starters, the organization needs to have a permit from the borough to solicit there. Once a group has permission, canvassing can be done only between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Also, canvassers must carry valid identification, and show identification and a copy of the permit upon request.
Canvassers must also conduct themselves "in such a manner to be courteous at all times," the department said in the post.
According to the police, if any of the rules are not met, then the canvasser is either in violation of the rules or has no permission to solicit.
If you think someone is violating the rules, give the police both a description of the person or persons and where they were last seen.
"We'll take it from there," the department said.
