Exactly this. Some UK prisons were found to be giving out tents to people who were leaving, which was illegal. You can, I am sure, imagine the results.

  I'm just out of prison. The authorities warned me that I cannot sleep on the same bench more than three times in a year or it would be classified as my permanent residence and I would have to provide utility bills to prove I lived there. This also applies for any subway train I was told - you can sleep on the same line three times in one year, but you have to switch between the lines every three days until you have exhausted all the lines. You cannot sleep in a tent in one position for more than three days unless you can provide documented proof of residence. If you sleep in your car note the street address of the nearest building to where you have parked. You can only sleep at that address for three days. They were deadly serious about this. Obviously you can lie to them about where you have been, but you have to tell them under penalty of perjury, so now you're committing a different felony which carries 5 years in prison.
