A Public Service Announcement from your cynical old Museum of Homelessness on the #PolicingBill

Whilst it's great that the Lords tabled a surprise amendment to repeal the #VagrancyAct, we caution people not to be distracted or too victorious about this. Why?
Well....🧵
What we know is that whilst people *are* arrested under the Vagrancy Act, which is despicable and archaic, the methods that are far more often used to make the homeless population's life a misery are Public Space Protection Orders and Community Protection Notices.
PSPOs and CPNs are from other legislation, specifically the Anti Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014.

This current #PolicingBill is the 2014 act on steroids.
