Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

There are "no stopping" zones, laws against loitering, and sometimes laws against overnight parking. There are also cops who like to throw their weight around. Some people -- too many people -- live in their cars. (If you plan on spending a lot of time sitting in your vehicle, this would be a good reason to own a van!) I think many laws against sitting or sleeping in your vehicle, as well as many parking restrictions, are unconstitutional, and I have always hoped that the right case would come along so that I could file an appropriate legal challenge. If you were cited or hassled for sitting in your car, or sleeping in your car, in Orange County, I would be delighted to hear from you by e-mail or telephone.

Loitering. If you are arrested and charged with it, you should consider hiring an attorney. Contact me if so.
