Clarification:
In your posting you seem to think that the targets of the "Move along" law are the homeless and that the impacts on street musicians and free speech are secondary. Yet with your own experiences with the City Council and their police you should know that the City government is very interested in selectively impeding free speech. My case is a free speech fight.

Will they ticket everyone? Arrest us all?
Bring this to everyone's attention:
They're trying to shut you up.
Don't shut up. Never shut up.

The new downtown ordinances are overly oppressive on their face, and when combined with the selective way they are enforced, they impact the quality of life for us all.
The police have basically been turned into a private security goon squad for the merchants!
Stacia, get a clue. We don't have a CPRB anymore--not coincidentally, this commission was axed right after it passed a motion condeming selective enforcement as a SCPD policy, but before they could present the resolution to the City Council.
Stacia, are you on the receiving side of the buttered side of the bread?
