A lawsuit filed Tuesday against the city of San Francisco, city departments and the mayor alleges the city violated unhoused individuals' constitutional rights by citing, fining and arresting them.
"A MacBook Pro, a cell phone, a brand new tent someone is sleeping in, their clothes, a toolbox, a work uniform, people's life-saving medications, your government ID, those are items that are clearly not trash and these are the items that the city is taking in remarkable numbers," Shroff continued.
That agency along with the ACLU of Northern California and the Coalition on Homelessness alleges in the lawsuit that city agencies violated unhoused people's constitutional rights by citing, fining and arresting them to remove them from sight as well as taking and destroying their belongings in targeted law enforcement operations.
