You are thinking of littering. Loitering is standing around idle on another person’s property. It’s usually used now adays to move vagrants along but the law has jim crow origins.

Oh wow, you just blew my mind. I am in fact thinking about littering! I was a bit suspicious about me not realizing the true meaning sooner, but did not look into it further. This makes a lot more sense now, thank you for clearing this up. :)

It's a common mistake for non native English speakers. I thought the same for years but now know the difference.

Also, a driving licence and a driving loicence are the same thing. The latter is just in a British accent.
