DENVER — Tents line W. 4th Ave. and Kalamath Street in Denver's Baker neighborhood, but not for long.Before that happens, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments that could eventually change the way all U.S. cities regulate homelessness.
The case debates whether or not camping bans constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment when no alternative shelter is available. Beck said enforcement is only getting stronger. She captured video of Denver police threatening to make arrests at a nearby encampment.Signs are posted at 4th Ave. and Kalamath Street, which alert people staying in the area to the sweep which will take place on Thursday, but many do not have other shelter options.
“I’d imagine that the court would probably overturn it and allow for criminalization of folks,” McNulty said, given the conservative super majority on the Supreme Court right now.“To put people in jail and to continue to cycle them through, it just perpetuates the homeless problem,” Beck said.
