In many places loitering is a crime in and of itself. For instance Police officers in South Australia may ask a person to stop loitering in a public place (in other words, to leave the place) where they believe on reasonable grounds: that an offence has been, or is about to be, committed by the person or by others in the vicinity.
So surely in Death in Venice - and here is a synopsis of the plot: the protaginist Gustav von Aschenbach, travels to Venice for health reasons. There, he becomes obsessed with the stunning beauty of an adolescent Polish boy named Tadzio who is staying with his family at the same Grand Hôtel des Bains:
Throughout the film we have this 'beautiful' boy loitering around and one really feels if
Von Ashenbach was any kind of an upstanding citizen he would have called the Gendarmes and
had this youth done for loitering with intent.
(Bit worried about people getting the tongue in cheek nature of all this)
