Here in California, what you call "rough sleeping" is illegal in most places, even sleeping in a currently registered, perfectly running vehicle. Citations are given for "Illegal camping".
Once, on a rainy night, 2000 hours, I pulled into a parking lot, and was there about 30 minutes, engine running, playing a video game on my cell phone, and police threatened me with an illegal camping citation, just because they could see by the stuff in my vehicle that I was likely living in it.
I argued that I was not camping, based on the fact that none of the criteria listed in county ordinances were present, being that I was not sleeping, or using any camping equipment, or sitting for a long period, etc. Officer responded that the city had rewritten ordinances such that "we can get you for anything". I was a bit put out by that, and pointed out that they were using the law to harass me not for anything I'd done, but rather the circumstances I was in. It falls on deaf ears, however.
We must respect and each other
The war on homelessness :(
I hate it when the government go to war with their own people.
weird thing is, the homeless are winning
i need proper speakers to listen to this posting. The recorded volume is so low haish!
Turn it up..
Nothing wrong with it
Rightly should!!
small government means that less citizens are looked after by the State.
