Louisiana has successfully got themselves into a darn good muddle! Congratulations, LA lawmakers, on shooting yourselves in the foot by not thinking through the residency restrictions you enact!! And, as usual, I’m certain each town/city/burrough enacted tougher restrictions than its neighbors! 🤣 Yup, I’m laughing at these idiots!

The principle of the thing is all that matters, right? Damn if it costs tax payers an arm and a leg.

Does the law actually spell out that a person must have a residence? That just criminalized homelessness, if it did and that was already ruled illegal in California. But if it does not spell out that person has to have a residence, then they are punishing people without giving them a chance to avoid those areas they are prohibited from residing near. Remember, in California residency restrictions don’t apply to homeless people. If someone knows of any lawyers handling this in the state of LA, please, let them know.

$13000/day? That’s chump change, “if it saves save just one child…”

I like how they are so keen on getting the people into parole/probation because they know that improves their chances of success, yet as has been pointed out, they have restricted things so badly there is pretty much nowhere to go. Every law has its unintended consequences. Sounds like some of LA’s are coming home to roost.

Needing to go full-term also will influence those who are incarcerated regarding whether they should even care about good behavior credit.
