| This town, county and state has an IV fed in part by a "retail sales tax" and anyone spending money is funding their bureaucracies. Additionally, anyone using some of their "services" (translate: handouts) is a client whose very presence justifies their existence. What costs is jail housing without any hope of receiving fines; such as INS/illegal alien detainees.
We used to have a nice law about vagrancy that was used to protect the public from low-grade offenders and other un-desirables until they could be taken to the county line or dumped on a bus...
but it became politically en-sense-ative.
