    Your vehicle is your private property, so this is saying a legally parked person on their own private property who intends to fall asleep can be punished with a 5k fine and 90 days in jail.

    No more going out to your car over break to take a nap.

            The way the law is written, yeah. Rest stops on highways aren’t designated camping areas, so if you sleep there on a road trip, you could potentially wind up in jail.

              There’s is no way the layman could even be aware of a law like this. I know ignorance isn’t an excuse but most laws are command fucking sense. Clear rights violation of I was in the courts.

      There is a simple test to determine if someone is living in their car and in violation or taking a nap and legally ok.

      Do they look homeless or are they a minority? Also known as “White is right.” test or “You know porn or art when you see it.” test. No need to add additional training to properly enforce the law, previous transferrable training is standard.
