A hangout, nowadays also called Youth Meeting Place (JOP), is a specially appointed place where so-called hangover people can hang around.
Many municipalities have set up such hanging places to prevent the hangover from staying in places where their presence is burdened by others. A hanging place is often not in the middle of a residential area and not on a continuous route. The furniture often consists of a vandalism-resistant bench with shelter from the rain. It covers an area of about 40 square meters. In the middle of the construction there is usually a concrete column that can be used at the same time for all kinds of graffiti.
A place to hang on its own initiative is also called a hangover. Spontaneously meeting happens not only by young people. In 2005, a shopping mall in Oude Pekela was forbidden to hang out. The ban was specifically intended to ward elderly people. In a McDonald's office in Almere, the company manager complained that a group of elderly people gathered daily in their business to enjoy the best seats for a long time.
The police crimes of convictions E 125 a and b, each with a tariff of € 90, respectively, refer to "no reasonable purpose to stop in a porch or gate or in, on or against a window sill or a threshold of a building" and "non-reasonable purpose other than inhabitants or users of apartment buildings, apartment buildings and similar multi-family houses or publicly accessible buildings in a space intended for common use". In the case of "(in or on) a publicly accessible portal, telephone booth, public parking lot, parking garage, bicycle parking or other similar space, without a reasonable purpose and in a different manner," the fine is 130 €. / p> Also see
