This really makes RI sound like a police state. I am still remembering the gentleman who lost his back pack and all his papers and identification when his shelter was deystroyed. I really can't belive this is happening. With even working people not being able to afford housing, this is beyond belief! Thanks, Steve for your reporting!
It's not like these people have a choice. Give them housing and they won't bother anyone. Where does the mayor and the police chief think they should go? To another state? Preposterous.! leave them alone until they are given suitable accommodations. Stop breaking the law!

Just reiterating what should be obvious: this is yet another flagrant violation of the Homeless Bill of Rights http://webserver.rilin.state.ri.us/PublicLaws/law12/law12356.htm
Seriously unbelievable.
