When traveling in such a place I have witnessed the police addressing
this issue by chasing these extremely poor people away, without any
respect whatsoever for their dignity as humans.

It seems to me that somehow there is a lesson in this about the need
to make sure that relatively minor inconveniences must not be
addressed in ways that are worse than the original problem.
