New Waste Law In Vegas

[Foxy Brown]

Newly illegal in Vegas: Sleeping near urine or feces.

The new ordinance makes it illegal to "knowingly establish" sleeping quarters within 500 feet of defecation unless that "deposit" is made in an appropriate sanitary facility. It was passed unanimously by the Las Vegas City Council as part of a bill making it a misdemeanor to go to the bathroom in public.

"Seriously, are you kidding me?" asked Lee Rowland, public advocate for the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada. "I don't know how on earth a police officer would determine whether someone has knowingly set up shop next to" urine or feces.

That quote summarizes the whole thing

Another law to kick the homeless up the arse again..
