Supreme Court rules cities can penalize the homeless for sleeping outdoors
Показать описание
The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that cities can penalize the homeless for sleeping outdoors by upholding a law banning homeless encampments.
The 6-3 decision stemmed from the case of Grants Pass v. G. Johnson, after the Oregon town began fining people nearly $300 for sleeping outside. If not paid, that fine would increase to $537.60, and multiple citations could expose the individual to criminal trespass charges—which could lead to a heftier fine and jail time.
"The enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property does not constitute 'cruel and unusual punishment' prohibited by the Eighth Amendment," the Supreme Court said in its decision.
