Homelessness has been criminalized in many places in this country which is already fucking ridiculous, but man.. treating a human like an animal? As has been stated in this topic, those officers need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty (2016) found in a survey of 187 cities that since 2011 there has been an increase in laws criminalizing homelessness. Citywide bans on camping in public have grown by 60%, bans on begging in public have grown by 25%, bans on loitering have increased by 35%, bans on sitting or lying down in particular public places have increased by 43%, and bans on sleeping in vehicles have increased by 119%. In major cities across the United States there are fewer shelter beds than needed, leaving thousands of people each night with no option but to live and sleep on the street.
Dude wtf its illegal to sleep in your car? I guess they want people to get into an accident if they are tired instead of pulling off the road
