Yes. In many municipalities loitering is illegal - and has been for several decades. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Too be honest I'm not sure why you find that so surprising seeing as how it wasn't all that long ago your skin color affected what parts of town you could be present in (to some extent this still persists, but you're not likely to be jailed for it - unless the police engagement invokes a negative reaction on your part.)
