The War on Vagrancy

In California, the state declared everyone from wanderers and willfully unemployed people to prostitutes and the lewd guilty of vagrancy. In Jacksonville, Florida, Margaret Lorraine Papakristo was arrested while out with her friend, another young blonde woman, and their dates to black men. This power was used primarily on non-white people, but it was also used on other folks who were disliked by the state, including communists. One of his favorite movies is Fucking Hot Fuzz, about a town whose hatred of homeless people leads them to mass murder.
