    Yeah it’s the same thing some homeless folks do in the United States if they’re sick or the weather is bad.

    Commit a silly non-violent crime and let yourself get caught. Free food, medical, room and board until your court date.

      Public indecency in front of a group of police officers was goto for many homeless people in my state. It’s a minor crime with up to 90 days in jail.

      Flash th cops in late November, get out in early March.

      Much safer than trying to live on the streets over the winter.
