Miami Parks hostile to kayakers

If the public is so concerned about some homeless people in a park, whom
to the best of my knowledge have never been known to do anything illegal
or threatening, then maybe there's a problem with the public? Maybe, and
bear with me here, we should treat the homeless like others, innocent
until proven guilty?

I don't know where you live, but where I live urinating and defecating in
public, performing sex acts in public, drinking to the point of
unconsciousness in public, injecting illegal drugs and leaving used needles
laying around, leaving garbage laying around and agressive panhandling are
all illegal.

Give 'em another choice: light community work.

On top of their existing jobs?

Existing jobs? Too funny.

Where do you live that *injecting* illegal drugs is illegal. I know many
places where possession of certain substances is illegal, and I know many
places where selling certain substances is illegal, but I know of none
where *injecting* (or any other form of consumption) illegal drugs can
result in charges. Can you tell me where this is true and possibly provide
a pointer to the relevant statute?

It would be difficult to consume without first possessing. Even if someone
else held the consumable as it was being consumed in a public park, both
would probably be candidates for arrest.

Are you being purposely idiotic? If so, you're doing an excellent job.

No. I'm asking a question. It is a simple matter to say you merely wrote
one thing (which is technically inaccurate) when you meant to make a point.
Why do you not do that instead of calling me "idiotic"?

I realize that, but the original poster claimed that *injecting* was
illegal. I know of no statute anywhere that makes that specific action a
crime.

Drunk driving.
There are several states with laws against a minor being in possession
of alcohol by consumption.

In South Dakota you can be busted for "internal possession".

If a cop suspects you're stoned, he can get a warrant and you can be
taken to hospital to have a urine sample forcibly removed.

Driving while under the influence or driving while intoxicated I don't
think apply. Possession I think even *I* pointed out above.

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for supplying the reference.
