This! Free up police resources to focus on responding to crimes in progress and bringing up clearance rates. Leave the calls re tents to the housing experts!https://twitter.com/MLNow/status/1351688252290453505 …

sleeping is not a crime! as per the 8th amendment, it would be unconstitutional to prohibit people from sleeping which is a totally natural thing to do. Our city needs to reflect this in removing police from interacting with our houseless neighbors.

Do you have evidence of anyone, ever, in the history of time, calling the police for someone sleeping on the street in SF?

People call the cops on the homeless all the time. Usually on the mentally ill that are sleeping in a doorway or something.. and then the cops force them to move, which drives them into more remote/less safe places where they often get victimized.

For every obvious "karen" type making a cell call from the sidewalk, there are 10 people that just silently call in from their apartments, and the cops have to show up and shine their lights.

Would you mind sharing the general area of where you live? I live in the tenderloin, and in the last 10 years, i have never ever seen a cop move a sleeping person, at least during the night. SOME times SOME alleys get cleared for what seemed to be street cleaning. During the day.

well the TL is a lot like a homeless encampment. It has historically always been more of a "containment" operation there. Prostitution and drugs are effectively decriminalized in the TL to keep it contained and away from the financial district.

Prostitution and drugs should be legal everywhere :)
