[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Police can NOT give “move along order” to someone sleeping on the street as long as they aren’t blocking the traffic flow and they aren’t blocking the entrance or exit to a building. IF they are blocking ALL the pikice can do is ask them to move over out of the way NOT force them to leave completely. No loietering laws have been brought down as unconstitutional. [/quote] It is legal now, after the SCOTUS ruling this year. The Supreme Court decided that it is permissible to fine or arrest people for camping in public space. It was a ruling this June called CITY OF GRANTS PASS, OREGON v. JOHNSON. DC just chooses not ban it and they have decided to allow this behavior. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-175_19m2.pdf[/quote]
