Why is it such a crime to sleep in public? I’ve seen people arrested for this.

depends... are you on the streets or in a car? If in a car... best place would find a Walmart that's open late or open 24/7....

@TradEmily well... kinda trespassing(actually would be)... but... is there one of those shed/carpool places on the side of the road.... sneak in a shed for the night

@BenuOTK I’m talking about just in public, park… not on private property - during the day

@TradEmily Savage. Obviously very different rules in the UK vs USA.
That’s crazy

@BiasForAction you know what I’m talking about
In the middle of the road, or driving a bus, etc., etc., etc.--not good.
It's the private prison industry. More criminals means more slave labor, so the owners of prisons bribe politicians to create more criminals. That's how we end up with these laws.

@jshm2 except not talking about someone’s porch. Just parks and the street and not on private property

@jshm2 actually, a couple years ago the police announced that they would no longer respond to calls requiring them to remove a trespasser from a private residence.

It kinda sucks. The law is stacked in favor of the criminals when it's between a criminal and a private party. Someone who has nothing has nothing to lose and now there's nothing stopping them from talking what's yours. ..and if you take the law into your own hands, it will very likely be you who gets arrested.

If you take action against a trespasser and they get injured, they can sue you for the loss of production you've created, even if it was illegal production.

One alternative is to use lethal force, but in many states, mine included, they better die and they better die inside your house. ..and there will still be an investigation and your gun will be confiscated until further notice, and you might have to deal with retaliation.

I think a big dog is the way to go. ..a couple of them.
