The criminalization of poverty.

We continue the descent into depravity.

Came here to say exactly this, but with the added disgust at the deliberate creation of poverty before then criminalizing it. Depraved, indeed. Depraved and abusive.

not sure about virginia but I was living in NJ and had driven to a concert a few hours away then was driving home and decided to pull over at a gas station and sleep in my car, was awoken to a cop knocking on my window and telling me I had to leave, so I was surprised to find out it was illegal there

If they had shelters that were decent, like even just a closet to sleep in overnight and a place to park a car, authoritarians could be paid to keep the peace without forcing people to give up their mobility. The insanity of cuckservatism; conserve nothing and continue to appear as evil as possible doing it.

A society that has more justice, is a society that needs less charity. -Ralph Nader

Why not just put every American in prison when they're born?
