Sleeping Outside Is Not Voluntary Conduct: The Homeless Fight Back

‘Fighting back against clueless city officials who evidently believe homelessness should be even more difficult so it won’t seem so enticing to so many, several homeless men are suing Manteca, CA. for inhumane new ordinances banning encampments, sleeping outside in any makeshift shelter or urination in public – even as the city shuts down public bathrooms – to drive off growing numbers of homeless people.
