Isn’t there anything on their books for loitering, vagrancy or public nuisance? Isn’t there anything on any neighboring community books for attractive nuisance, or reciprocity?

Broken window theory indeed.

This is not much of a tribute to the fine gentleman after whom that city and university were named.

Nice sneaky way to further persecute law-abiding smokers OUTSIDE while masking it with the ‘removal of the annoying homeless’ (who can’t pay fines and don’t care if they get arrested).

Sure shows us where we (”dirty smokers”) really sit in the grand scheme of the health reich.

SmithL:

When did the tobacco plant become ILLEGAL? When I was a boy in the 1970s, my friend’s dad had a tobacco farm and I used to pick the tobacco. I wonder if I would be ARRESTED for picking the best CIGAR WRAPPER TOBACCO — Shade Grown Connecticut Valley. :)
Only in Berkley!!
