Santa Rosa Trail Encampments and Boise Court Ruling
The Joe Rodota Trail in Santa Rosa, California, has been taken over by a quarter-mile-long homeless encampment. Local police claim they cannot intervene due to a Ninth Circuit Court ruling in a Boise, Idaho, case involving the Eighth Amendment's protection against cruel and unusual punishment. The ruling prevents the eviction of homeless individuals from public property unless alternative beds are available.
