Suppose an offender under this statute pays the fine. What happens the next day? And the day after that? The law effectively obviates local efforts to address homelessness and gives that power to the state. Not traditional GOP policy making to be sure. The homeless remain homeless and are left even more hopeless. It’s not much of a head scratching to conclude the law basically enables law enforcement to remove homeless camps. What happens the next day is a cleaner cityscape, brush cleared, rubbish removed, and a humanitarian crisis that is only made worse.
