Or they know that the DA will not prosecute, so why bother.

    The police in a nearby town were explicitly forbidden from issue citations or removing the residents of an unofficial homeless encampment that took over a city street two blocks from the police station, a county jail, and an official homeless encampment. Piles of stolen bikes. Harassment of employees and customers at local businesses. Frequent trespassing. Assaults of other homeless people, sometimes with weapons. Vandalism. All totally fine. It took years and the death of a homeless person by being burned alive for the 'compassionate' city council to do something about the problem. Their solution was to put up 2-hour parking signs—it was already illegal to park for more than 72 hours—and finally allow the police to do their job.
