Existing on the face of the earth is a crime:

In May, the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint on behalf of Picture the Homeless with the city’s Commission on Human Rights alleging that the NYPD last summer launched “a concerted effort to disrupt East Harlem’s community of street homeless people by ordering them to ‘move along’ when they violated no laws and were merely present on streets, sidewalks, and in other public spaces.” When someone, like Berges, “refuses to comply or expresses disagreement with the order, officers often threaten or carry out arrests, ticketing, removals to psychiatric hospitals, or destruction of their property.”

This is the same program that was originated in L.A. under Chief Bratton, known as The Safer Cities Initiative. UCLA Prof. Blasi critiqued the SSI in 2006: http://www.scpr.org/programs/patt-morrison/2011/01/26/17676/why-is-los-a...

In January, the NYPD circulated a memo directing officers on how to deal with encampments and “hot-spots of homeless persons,” which were defined as “outdoor locations where two or more individuals are gathered without a structure,” including “parks or other popular areas where homeless individuals convene.”

Let's start with the proposition that sitting down and minding your own business is a violation of the notorious "no sitting or sleeping" municipal ordinance, 41.18 (d).

Bratton recently took to the pages of the conservative Manhattan Institute’s City Journal to defend broken windows in an article co-authored by one of its principle architects, George L. Kelling.

“Apart from the deterrent effect that minor arrests may have on individual offenders, the management of public spaces to reduce disorderly behavior also lessens daily opportunities for crime,” Bratton and Kelling wrote. “Just as disorder encourages crime, order breeds more order.

Order breeds more order. And that's a good thing? Oh yeah, George Kelling is the author of The SSI and Senior Fellow at The Manhatten Institute: https://www.manhattan-institute.org/expert/george-l-kelling

He is frequently called to defend an indefensible systemic denial of civil liberty as we used to know it.

Here in L.A. The City Council and Mayor recently passed Municipal Ordinance 56.11, legalizing armed robbery by cops. The ordinance made it illegal to possess more property than would fit in a 60 gallon trash can.

The L.A. Civil Rights lawyers working with LACAN got a restraining order against armed robbery by the LAPD:
