I had no idea you could report door to door salesmen to the police.
Look out Jehovah's Witnesses!

You can report salesmen Chris. However the salesmen can go to the police station and get a permit that allows them to sell in certain neighborhoods during certain hours.
Also, they need to be selling something. For instance political candidates going door-to-door is not illegal if they aren't asking for money. I'm not sure where religion falls on this issue. Let me find out for you.
