Marin County Cop caught dropping off Homeless man in SF

Cliffs

-Marin County LEO caught on camera dropping off a homeless man in San Francisco.
-Possible implication that LEO's drop homeless people off in different counties/cities rather than deal with them directly (Implication, not confirmed)

Apparently this is a thing in San Francisco.

He probably was helping the guy out, but it's cause for concern if we have people literally dumping homeless people in big cities to be a problem for someone else.

[Redfish225]

That’s pretty fukk’d up.

[imbored205]

Marin county is rich people land.

They did it because rich people dont want crackheards there.

[PepperedAngus]

Always put trash in its place.

Yeah Marin county is really wealthy and beautiful. They’ll dump them in SF where they can get free food, medical care and cell phones.

What should he have done with him? Booked him into jail on BS charges in his jurisdiction? Why not bring him to a place where the homeless are embraced and catered to?



In upscale communities people typically call 911 on homeless people. It doesn't matter if they are just hanging out under a bridge. Sleeping on a bench. Loitering on side-walks, Etc. I don't know if they think the police are going to bring these homeless people home and feed them and cloth them or what. But a lot of places that do not want homeless do not cater to them at all. As in the only option is book them into jail or go drop them off somewhere that's homeless friendly.





Also loled at the news broadcasters complaining he did not provide him with anything. WTF is he supposed to do. Give him his own lunch? Lmao.

I think the core of the issue is the possibility that homeless people are being taken from the area from where they originated instead of being dealt with.

This seems to be a common unspoken practice and could be one of the main reasons why big cities have seen an uptick in homelessness and crime.

There's no easy answer, that much I'll admit.

[Ravishing_Rick]

they been doing that for years


or dumping homeless and poor people from hospitals into the street and alleys

Cities typically have resources for homeless. Hospitals that will treat them. Diners that will feed them. Shelters. Etc. Furthermore the libs and their organizations embrace the homeless.

Homeless people don't 'originate' from affluent or upscale areas. They just wander in to see what they can panhandle/steal.


The officer in question in the OP may get in hot water depending on if the guy requested a ride or if he was 'forced' to take the ride. But it is California so his city officials will most likely throw him to the wolves.


Its a pretty common practice but that's just the breaks of having resources that cater to homeless people. Smaller towns/more affluent areas give 0 ****s and want them gone. I know a few cops that work those types of areas and the standing practice is relocate them.

[jackamo2887]

What's the problem? San Fran should just bus them to Portland.

Fair take, thanks for the insight.

um...they are transients, they didnt come from there.

I dont think a lot of homeless started their journey in marin fukin county. Let the liberals deal with them, SF is a dump, Marin is still nice, you save whats worth saving.

[Duckliver]

My city gets paid by Seattle to take all the paedos. Into halfway houses.

Fukking ridiculous

[gonesquatchn]

instead of being dealt with.

Please explain to the misc how they should be "dealt with" if they arent posing any imminent threat, cant be booked on charges, do not want to go to a homeless shelter, that shelter is full, or if they ask to be dropped off at a specific place.

Literally, damned if you do, damned if you dont if youre an LEO because people will see video of you doing literally anything and proceed to make 14,327 assumptions about it without knowing any of the backstory.

No one knows anything right now. Not the reports or anyone. For all we know, the guy wanted to go there. Hell, if hes getting a ride, he had to go somewhere, so then no matter where the officer takes him, ooooh boy a sh*t storm is gonna brew.

Yeah guestbrah covered that, but my point is the practice will at best prolong a bigger problem.

I understand the line of reasoning, but I feel like there will be delayed consequences aside from what we're seeing already.

LEO's wouldn't be hiding it if it were a legitimate practice.

I believe I mentioned on the OP that the claim and overall story is unconfirmed.

LEO's hide it because its a very much grey area issue. If you force someone into your car and go drop them off in another area. Its illegal, a violation of their rights. However if you tell someone they are committing a jailable offense (Loitering, panhandling, trespassing, etc.) and you can relocate them somewhere else instead of arresting them its their choice to leave.

Or maybe, they aren't committing any crime. But the area they are in nobody gives them money/food. There is no shelter. And no resources for the homeless. You can offer them a ride to a place with a shelter/resources. Where they won't be harassed by the police. People will give them food. Etc.

Its not illegal or unethical. But it will certainly be 'frowned upon' by the jurisdiction where you drop them. It really freaking sucks if you live somewhere with resources for the homeless. But that's the way the game works.


The 'homeless crisis' exists in heavily Democrat cities because of liberal policy that caters to drug users/addicts and petty crime. Failure to prosecute misdemeanor offenses. Etc. Its been a 'shuffle policy' for years and now with decriminalization of drugs and failure to prosecute petty offenses. Its just out of control.


Most conservative cities/areas have little to no homeless people. Especially the smaller towns/cities.

[Archangel_Lost]

who cares, its not like they live there lol

Follow police protocol maybe?

[HateLiberals]

We should drop them off from entire country in Cali

[Mike86er]

Apparently this is a thing in San Francisco.

Places like San Francisco don’t see them as a problem though so what’s the issue?

[Ratfish]

What's the problem? San Fran should just bus them to Portland.

take them a few miles out to sea and dump them in the ocean with cement shoes instead

[Voidgaze]

Take it with a grain of salt, but I dug up some old comments about this already being a thing with Portland, srs.

[Maestro]

You guys didn't know cops did this? I live in La Jolla and they do it here. They even do it in Irvine and the surrounding Orange County area. They have no business being there. There are no jobs or housing or homeless shelters in these areas for them

Don't get me wrong I still see homeless, but it's never the same person. You see them one day on a street corner or setting up a tent, and the next day, they're gone. It's probably one of the only things cops do around here regularly that I appreciate.

[multiplemiggs]

The real question is "What's his misc username?"

[guest89]

Follow police protocol maybe?

He did. Protocol for smaller towns/more upscale communities is transport the homeless out or arrest them and book them into a jail for any applicable charge and dumpster whatever 'abandoned' property they leave on the side-walk. This has been standard practice for 20+ years.

Its the reason why some places have no homeless. Or if they show up they don't stay long.
