ACLU files lawsuit against Spokane, Washington, claiming constitutional infringement in public space camping ordinances.
The ACLU has filed a lawsuit against the city of Spokane, Washington, claiming that three of its ordinances relating to public space camping and use infringe upon the State's Constitution. The lawsuit alleges violations of civil rights and individual liberties, marking the first legal challenge since the US Supreme Court ruled in June that cities can enforce outdoor sleeping bans. The case challenges city ordinances that make camping, sitting, or lying on public property misdemeanor crimes in certain circumstances.
