In my home town, there is quite a problem with homeless people. They are generally all dirty, smelly and drunk up on alcohol. Wallowing in their on filth, in street doorways and shouting abuse at passers by.


The local council officers will bolt a clamp on to any homeless person found motionless or asleep after 9pm at night. This is the time when they start accumulating in doors ways. The clamps ensure that any drunk causing a blockage are forced to stay put when they wake up. They have probably been sick too. They are then to be prosecuted and punished.

In addition to this, any homeless person found with a clamp in the morning and can't move, will be fined for "Being in the way".



I think its outrageous this could be allowed in these days today. I am curious as to what people here think of this.

I caught this with my camera phone last night:

Surely a drunk homeless person, being clamped, would just start a fight with the person doing the clamping? Can't see what this is achieving...

Fines for homeless people? Yeah, they're going to get paid aren't they...

Is this legit as one of your basic freedoms in this country is the right to free movement?

SO you could sue them to forever and back.

I call bull poopey. Looks more like a protest.

Totally and 100% illegal if its true.

You can't be detained without arrest (unless its a terrorism offence) and you certainly can't detain people in public setting and not provide them any utilities, warmth, water, toilets etc.

Hmm this is serious business guys. Human being being clamped. It's inhumane. Write to your MPs, it could happen in your town.

I am surprised some people can bend their arms far enough to type a reply (seem to be missing "funny" bone).
