On the morning of Sunday, September 29, 2024, Santa Monica Police officers detained and issued a citation to a man found camping at Santa Monica Beach. The individual, known to the officers, had previously been warned after camping in the area for several days.
Officers informed the man that they would return the next day, and if the encampment remained, he would face arrest. In response, the man complied by dismantling his tent and encampment.
The incident was a violation of Santa Monica Municipal Code 4.08.095, which prohibits camping in public areas, including beaches, streets, parks, and government properties. The municipal code explicitly forbids such activities in these locations.
