Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday that bans homeless people from setting up tents or sleeping in public spaces, as he compared the issue of homelessness to the chaos of spring break.

What the actual hell??? Last week, I had clients across from Naples to Bradenton, so i woke up at 4am and started doing jobs. Made it up to Bradenton at 10am and the last client wanted to wait til 2pm to do the job

As a result i chilled,, enjoyed a nice lunch, checked out the boardwalk, and after 1.5 hrs of enjoying the place, I entered my car exhausted, set an alarm to 1:30pm, and fell asleep.

You're telling me that THIS NAP I TOOK WOULD BE ILLEGAL?!?!?!

    Yes, and I have been hassled for it (not in Florida). Small town cops are the worst by far. I imagine if you have a nice car you might slip by though.

    Or they can arrest you for loitering or some b.s. and impound the car. Then maybe let you go with no charges after 48 hours, but youe car is still impounded and you pay 2,000 to get it out or cops can seize and auction it off. Welcome to the USA
