With the All Star game in San Diego this year, The city of San Diego along with San Diego Police Dept. have been mistreating, Harassing and relocating the Downtown Homeless Community, for Profit.

Homeless Rights Advocates went down to the event downtown to hand out flyers containing statistics about the homeless in San Diego.

As an undercover officer was handed a flyer he stated that San Diego Municipal Code 57.16 makes it illegal for anyone to pass out flyers unless representing a religion. 

This is false as the Municipal Code only pertains to commercial advertising. Section (B) also states

"This section shall not be deemed or construed to prohibit or restrict the distribution of written or printed matter devoted to the expression of views, opinions, beliefs or contentions relating to religious, political or sociological subjects, or to public or civic affairs, or to labor disputes or other controversies, or to community, state, regional, national or international affairs, or which treat of any social or economic order, or which relate to the arts or sciences; or which are aimed to redress any grievance, or which otherwise are not distributed for the purpose of soliciting business, trade or custom; nor shall the terms of subsection (a) be deemed to include the printed notice of an event which is not arranged for profit or to stimulate the business, trade, or traffic of the person who causes the dissemination of the notice, even though a monetary admission fee be requested or accepted in connection with such event."

The officer later went to the homeless outreach table and admitted he was wrong about the Municipal Code. #Copwatch #SanDiego #FilmThePolice
