Anti-unhoused legislation = free anti-freedom of assembly law

Seems like applying it in this manner, if it really can be, would make the law as written a constitutional violation.

The reason the supreme Court originally banned many public loitering laws before this recent greenlight was exactly because those laws were unconstitutionally vague and allowed them to target groups they didn't like with enforcement. And surprise surprise, when the courts allowed them again that's exactly what they do with them.

I'm sure come November the LAPD will be arresting swaths of black Friday shoppers since they're fair arbitrators of the law, right? And the tailgating will I'm sure experience robust and vigorous enforcement.

Nashville used something similar to issue a felony (thus disenfranchising opposition) and to keep people from protesting.

Pretty neat...

Too bad people can't see pass their hatred of homeless people to see this abuse
