Ask Lemmy

You can fall down a rabbit hole on YouTube of similar videos. Rarely do the cops just respect the law and back down. For many of them it's about ego and power and they seem to believe whatever information they receive first, as in a caller said you were suspicious so they're going to treat you like a criminal regardless of the facts or what you tell them.

I didn't read the whole thread before linking that video, so a few things to consider.

1. There is no federal law stating that sleeping in your is illegal but, some states and or cities do. So if you're in a state or city where it IS ILLEGAL, definitely don't do this lol. They'll just arrest you.
2. If it IS LEGAL where you are, theoretically you don't have to move and can stay as long as you want. But, the cops will escalate things and start looking for other reasons to arrest our fuckery you.
3. Have you considered going to a 24hr gym or something similar? So if anyone hassles you, you're just going to the gym. Just an idea.
4. If your renting a camp site you do have "Campers Rights" and can tell the cops to fuck off. I remember watching a similar video to the one I linked about that specifically. I'll add it later if I can find it. Best of luck though 🖖
