Is sleeping in your car being illegal some sort of FREEDOM©®™ thing that I’m way too European to understand?
In some places, parking lots are monitored by security and you’ll be kicked out if you’re sleeping in your car in the parking lot.
Often times it’s loitering charges, loitering being a fancy term for “being out in public whenever it displeases a person of authority”. Sitting on a public bench, having a picnic, walking on a sidewalk, sleeping in your car, whatever, all of those can and will get you loitering charges depending on your exact location in the United States.
Then you have public intoxication charges which on paper are only supposed to apply if you’re causing a public disturbance (despite disorderly conduct already being a charge for that, public intoxication just makes it more severe), but in reality it’s mostly used to harass drunk people who couldn’t get a ride home, or uber home, and decided not to drive while drunk. I wouldn’t be surprised if you had a higher likelihood of getting arrested for public intoxication while drunk walking/public transporting home than of getting arrested for DUI while drunk driving home. But public intoxication and even DUI can also be used if you’re sleeping off drunkenness in your car, while the car is turned off.
It’s illegal in the netherlands too
You have cars? I thought all cars are forcibly seized and replaced with bikes at the border.
It’s because those things happen if you allow people from general Benelux to have a car.
Less actually illegal and more that the lots are privately owned and the owning companies can have you removed from the lots of they don’t like what you’re doing.
It should be illegal to force people to sleep in their cars because a depraved system has deprived them of decent housing…
Yeah, in an article talking about how news stories about crime often show pictures of tents, they pointed out that the photo is of a crime scene, but the crime was not committed by those living in the tents.
I hate Walmart, but they let people sleep in the parking lot there. Cars, RVs, whatever. So if you’re ever unfortunate enough that you’re stuck sleeping in your car, you can park at Walmart without getting harassed.
No one should have to be forced to sleep in a car in the first place.
Unless it’s one of these
No one has to be forced to sleep in something that rad.

They make them with LEDs
I had a monster truck bed but I broke my nose falling out of it one night.
Especially if you get the CB radio so you can talk to other car beds
You were balls deep in your turtle, I didn’t wanna disturb you
We elected a bunch of lawyers to run our country. No surprise then that everything is based around liability and “safety”
