 Arizona News Radio. U.S. Supreme Court decided today cities like Phoenix can ban homeless encampments in public spaces. A decision lauded by some Arizona leaders, but ASU law professor Paul Bender says it's not so simple. You have to sleep, and there's no place else to sleep. So you do that, and then you're guilty of a crime. I don't think that's what the criminal law is for. And so I think it's a close question, but I think I disagree with what the court says.
