  • Santa Monica Police Officers issued an advisal to an individual found camping at Santa Monica Beach on Sunday, June 2, 2024. The officers informed the individual that they would return in 30 minutes to check for compliance. They also stated that a second offense would result in a citation and a third offense in arrest. The man complied and dismantled his tent.
    Santa Monica Municipal Ordinance 4.08.095 prohibits camping in public spaces within the city. This ordinance defines camping as the use of tents, huts, or any temporary shelters as living accommodations in public areas, including parks, beaches, streets, alleyways, parking lots, and other public spaces. This measure aims to balance the need for public order with the wellbeing of all community members.

    If you are a homeless You could get evicted everywhere you go it’s basically matter of time for a cop to come and remove you 😮 sucks but that’s the system right now. (Mission name : Cleaning the streets)

    Thanks for the adventure. Love the air shot. Seems like every time I go to launch my drones in that area I get pop ups restricting take off. What's your secret? Maybe it's just the DJI drone I'm using. Further up I have no problem. Nothing like flying at the beach...No trees!..ha ha. Have a great day!

      some of them probably are but it was only because of certain fruit types theyre not allowed to sell I think it was primarily cantaloupes and maybe melons - theyre just people tryin to make an honest living and they probably double as security at least some of them more than likely do

    Beautiful place the people are cool, they are very conscious place I miss it
    I think when the police pull up to these encampments they should have info to tell these people they can go here it is awkward when you set up a tent on the beach like just thinking about it it also makes the beach look bad but there doing there job 🙏🤙🏾
    The beach does have water to shower there an toilets before they close evening hours

      They do provide them with homeless services info. Some people refuse help and insist they can camp anywhere.

    • @guesswho4190
      @guesswho4190 Před 16 dny

      That’s true they do refuse assistance
      As far as the police moving encampments
      What I’m saying is
      If you guys are like moving encampments why not have like a brochure to assist the homeless I’m sure they just move them without having info
      Like I’m saying they should have a social worker there as well it is the most populated state in the country
      When they take these encampments off the beach have some place they can go
      Where are they going to go there just going to go a few blocks an for the community
      I was homeless there few months an because I got some info they got me in a place after few months being homeless so I understand an I understand some homeless people don’t look for help but at least if you have something to offer them an not just move or trash there encampments I would hope they would consider the services provided
      It ain’t easy
      An I like Cali because they do help there’s not a lot of places that give Gr
      Cali is cool but can be a wild place for others luckily I didn’t have bad experiences when I was there but threats are sometimes present

    Need designated areas for homeless camping and it has to stay camping NOT permanent tent and piled trash and make shift buildings. If I cant do it then they cant either. Homeless need to know they are accountable and good citizens too.

    The current accepted definition of homeless people are campers vs unhoused or tented from years past, looks like a nationwide sweep going on reclaiming the trashed areas campers occupied,
