Panhandlers engaging in Ticketing Scam in Downtown Boise: Later threatened for filming them

Mark Reinhardt- Boise Idaho

 A group of Panhandlers were engaging in a Ticketing Scam at the intersection of Main and 6th in the Downtown area. One person, gave me an interview in relation to the scam, describing how the person handing out fake tickets stole his bike; After filming the scam, I was later approached by one of the parties involved; While this was occurring, a Boise Police Cruiser drove by to check on the situation.
Later, they would attempt to physically harm me, until one of the homeless people on the street got in the middle of situation;

Sources close to the Homeless population had described the activity as Fraud and Extortion.
