Happens all the time, all around the country, and folks in the camps have little, if any, recourse.  Nice to see the ACLU at least tried to get something done.....Colo. Springs police: No wrongdoing in homeless camp clean up; ACLU declines commentBy Associated Press 7:49 PM MDT, June 28, 2009COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Springs police say an internal probe found no wrongdoing by officers overseeing the city's clean up efforts at homeless camp sites. Homeless advocates and the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado claim people at the sites were threatened with arrest and ordered to leave without their belongings during the monthly clean ups. Homeless advocates say sleeping bags, prescription medications, family pictures and military medals were illegally confiscated as cleaning crews escorted by police swooped in without warning. Police Lt. Kirk Wilson could not find anyone with complaints, despite efforts. The probe, started in February, concluded earlier this month. The ACLU declined comment. ___ Information from: The Gazette, http://www.gazette.com
