Supreme Court Loses Their Mind!

Do they really think they can fine homeless people? They’re homeless!! So the buck or 2 I give them will now go back to the government? I’d rather see it go on drugs than there. And this is from people that want less government. Go figure!!

@Handfull1 ok thank you.

Ann Oliva, CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, said the decision gives “free reign to local officials who prefer pointless and expensive arrests and imprisonment, rather than real solutions.”

i agree that levying fines and jail on homeless is utterly pointless and a waste of law enforcement time and resources

→bans on camping in public spaces does not violate the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment

i also, agree with this decision: bans on camping in public spaces isn't a breach of civil rights and freedoms in our constitution

the National Alliance to End Homelessness has a very good point, they just need a better argument that the courts will support.

tbh, i think the National Alliance to End Homelessness got bad council and need better attorneys
