SFPD Commander James Dudley on Criminal Sitting

The San Francisco Police Department is currently pushing a new law that would make it illegal to rest on any sidewalk in San Francisco.

It is already illegal to obstruct sidewalks and to harass pedestrians; the new law would only be applied in cases where a person is sitting or lying down without blocking passage or bothering pedestrians.

On March 10, 2010, the Department presented this proposal to the Police Commission. Commissioner Petra DeJesus asked Commander James Dudley of Metro to clarify.

We took down a video because mockery of audience members isn't okay. In fact, it's straight stupid. Act like an adult when commenting.

this would make me alot more comfortable if this law passed, especially when i would like to enjoy the historical haight with my 2 year old daughter...it seems that most if not all the sit/liers on haight are high of drugs in my opinion.
