Hello, everyone, it's Anthony Bandiero Here, Attorney senior instructor for blue to gold law enforcement training. Bring the roadside chat This question comes from an officer in Idaho. And so basically, the officer asks, basically, about are homeless people allowed to sleep in parks after hours. And the reason that this is coming up is because of a case called Martin versus Boise, which is a case of the Ninth Circuit, right, which the US Supreme Court refused to hear. So basically, it's good law in the ninth circuit. So here's a scenario. The officers aware that enforcing laws against homeless people is very problematic, after this case, the Martin case, because basically what the Supreme Court or the Ninth Circuit said is that if you're going to enforce anti camping ordinances against homeless people, the question before you enforce it, and you arrest them? Or you cite them is, where can they go? Do they have a place an alternative place to go? Is there a shelter? There's a bit available? Is there another place? A park in town where or a place where you want campers to go? Is that place close enough? Or are you trying to say that the next available camping ground that you can go to for free, is 100 miles down the highway, right? So these are all great questions. And I'm telling you right now that you need to be very, very careful. Before you start running around enforcing all various laws against homeless people. I am not saying that you're not going to enforce the being in the street, or you can enforce it being in the street blocking traffic, blocking sidewalks. But when it comes to these, these anti camping enforcement actions, just be careful. I have a whole webinar on dealing with homeless people and RVs tents and so forth. But just be careful. I personally would not want to see these decisions made at the sergeant or line level, I just wouldn't I would like them to be made at the command level. I want lieutenants and above and especially my chiefs, talking to their legal counsel, I want them talking to their attorney, so the prosecutors to their state's attorney, because you are potentially getting yourself wrapped up into a very expensive lawsuit. Homeless people have a lot of advocates, they may not have a lot of money, but they have a lot of attorneys willing to give their time to fight their cases. Okay, so they pull on the heartstrings. And I understand I mean..
