The cops don't care. The legal system's specifically built to protect them and it's not like someone's gonna hire a lawyer sue even if they did have a legal case to make.

I knew a few folks at this one encampment near where I live. The encampment was at the community cultural center's parking lot and the city had been trying to get rid of it forcefully but the cultural center managed to negotiate a deal that they'd have X number of months to peacefully find each member a different place. The main thing most houseless persons want is safety and that encampment was one of the few places people felt safe so there was a lot of pregnant folks and other vulnerable people. Eventually the cops came in illegally at ~5am (they'd tried to do this a few times before but activists were there to scare them away) and kicked everyone out. Many of them lost their wallets and were left with no id or documents or any way to access any benefits or even apply for a spot in a shelter (which were all full and famously shitty places anyways).

We got a few of the most vulnerable folks a few nights at motels but didn't really have a budget for it. One of the motel owners found out that the motel was paid for under a different name than the person who was staying there and they locked them out of their room and kept their stuff

Nothing you can do tbh. The people in this world that are most commonly robbed are houseless people
