(2) Wandering or strolling about from place to place without apparent lawful purpose or aim.

(c) No person who is prowling in the manner described in subsection (b) hereof shall refuse to leave the vicinity after being requested to do so by a police officer where, although such person has identified himself and stated the reason for his presence as required in subsection (b) hereof, an ordinary, reasonable person would continue to have an immediate concern for the safety of persons or the security of property in the vicinity if such person were allowed to continue prowling in such vicinity.
