Do you think people should be arrested for being smelly ?

[quote]People should not be arrested for being smelly.
Government-backed proposals in the Criminal and Justice Bill could see someone face prison for causing damage by creating "excessive smells" and not moving on when told by the authorities.

Under the bill, it is proposed police or local authorities will be able to issue "nuisance begging directions" to move people on, and if they do not comply they face a month in prison.[/quote]

Odor is not a crime if it is confined to the body of ONE person. This is government over reach.
However, I can visualize a homeless person pitching his or her tent quite near the front door of a business, and doing his or her "business" a few feet away...never washing, and creating a fearsome stink that would repel customers from entering said business.

We've read several instances of the mad homeless in California doing just that.
