How Ridiculous can these A$$holes get?

A new law is being passed in Kelowna forbidding people lying/sleeping on sidewalks! Infractions will result in a $50 fine! W.T.F. that has $50 in his pocket is sleeping on the sidewalk? How much are we paying these public parasites to come up with this sh*t?

The fining of homeless for being homeless is rampant in the UK... and has been proven ineffective... so by all means, let's try it here of course :roll:

Are there shelters?

Most trolls do sleep under bridges.

I'm not surprised

I don't think fines will work as they won't have the money. Execution on the spot would be more effective.

Collect enough unpaid fines and they'll get three hots and a cot - a better deal than sleeping out under the rainclouds - at whatever it costs to keep a person in the slam

If they can panhandle and break into cars for dope money, they can panhandle and break into cars for fine money.

As if the bad sh*t they do isn't enough you'd have them do more, which amounts to the tax payer paying their fines? You just want to keep them on the 'Merry - Go -Round' ?

Sheriff Andy Taylor would put the vagrant to work and let him sleep in the cell and Aunt Bea would bring the meals..

In Sask they have Fine Option through John Howard Society where fines can be worked off at minimum wage equivalent.


The Fine Option Program is not an alternative to sentencing, but gives people the opportunity to settle fines by doing unpaid, supervised community service work, rather than paying in cash. The Ministry of Justice works with town councils, First Nations communities, local non-profit organizations or an individual to administer the Fine Option Program in the community under a contractual agreement. These organizations or individuals, called fine option agencies, assign suitable community service work to people who register to settle fines under the program. The agencies also advise the court of the outcome of the assignment.
Currently, Saskatchewan has agreements with Alberta and Manitoba that allow some out-of-province fines to be worked off in another province. The program is open only to the individual who received the fine, and does not apply to companies or corporations.

I doubt he'd hire jib rats to pick apples.
