    This is why a lot of homeless will (try) to get a (cheap) smartphone. It won’t have a cell connection, but they can just have it in front of them so they “aren’t loitering, they were looking at their phone”.

    Yes, this is BS that they have to do this to avoid issues, and some cops just don’t care.

      Idk, I’d imagine they’d get a cell phone for wifi reasons over loitering coverage, even though that could be an additional benefit
