: Legal Pad | LAHomeless suit settled with city
By Richard Binder
Laguna Beach agreed to settle a lawsuit over its treatment of disabled homeless people by constraining police from interfering with those asleep in public places. Under the agreement, the city's police officers will not cite, arrest or harass people under state law simply for sleeping in public places, as long as there are no reasonable public health or safety concerns.
The agreement also establishes a process for expunging from the public record citations and convictions obtained under the city's previous anti-camping ordinance, key portions of which were repealed in February following the filing of the lawsuit last December.
The ACLU, Newport Beach law firm Irell & Manella and Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Irvine law school filed the suit on behalf of four homeless plaintiffs.
