U.S. Supreme Court keeps ruling barring prosecution for sleeping in public
I wonder if this will effect van life. In some cities sleeping in your car is illegal even if in a valid parking spot minding your own business. Some places even illegal to take a break and sit on the ground. I think living in a van would be cramped, but maybe a RV would be nice but watched some of the van life channels and think it&#x27;s insane sleeping in your van is a crime. I think some cops want to ID people who live different lifestyles because maybe they assume you are a criminal on the run for living in a van. But still insane you could go to jail or get your car impounded for sleeping in a parking spot... In some places sleeping on a bench too, putting people in Jail over sleeping which is a needed human function.<p>Then many states won&#x27;t let you have a license if you are homeless, unless you get help from a shelter and also try to make it harder to vote too. So you have to pretend you live with a relative or go to Texas or South Dakota to setup a mail forwarder and declare domicile since they recognize full time RVing. Plus heard some shelters won&#x27;t help you if you still own a car, got to sell it first to receive services.<p>I have heard though South Dakota only lets you vote for federal and state elections though, not local(city and county) but not sure how true that is... For example one of the counties doesn&#x27;t have a &quot;Wheel Tax&quot;, which would effect people registered there if ever passed, so RVers would vote no of course on it. Yet they say you can still be called for Jury Duty as mentioned on the affidavit, but heard the popular county for mail forwarders exempt those addresses, so you won&#x27;t get picked in the first place but even if you do just call and tell them you are traveling full time to be exempted... But kinda interesting you are like a resident but not really a resident. I guess no states really considered people could retire and RV full time or younger people could live in a van and work remotely online.<p>I guess kinda the same with college though... If you lived in California but your parents retired early and moved to Florida or Nevada, yet you wanted to stay in California to go to school with your high school friends then California would consider you a resident for DMV, taxes but no longer a resident for tuition since they go by your parents domicile until a certain age, yet until after a full year or two FL or NV wouldn&#x27;t consider you a resident for school either, so I guess you could technically not be a resident of any state for tuition proposes.
