A loiterer is generally viewed as a person who is probably up to no good, intending to steal or commit some felonious act.
If you are seen to be loitering, there is a good chance that someone will phone the police regarding this.

Hi Mirko,
Your question should read What does loitering mean? Or What is the meaning of loitering?

Hi Mirko,
'Loiter' often has the sense of staying in one place and waiting around. It is also frequently associated with the idea you are about to do something wrong. We have the expression 'loiter with intent' that is used by the police to arrest someone who looks as if they are intending to commit a crime.
