Sit-lie ordinance
text:
In the United States, a sit-lie ordinance is a municipal ordinance which prohibits sitting or lying on the sidewalk or in other public spaces. Proponents argue that such ordinances are useful or necessary in keeping sidewalks free from obstruction, particularly for use by mobility-impaired persons, and that they are a useful tool in fighting undesirable behavior, while opponents argue that they are instead veiled attacks on vagrants and homeless persons, and, further, unnecessary and overbroad.
