'Concerning' law passed which will see homeless charged £630 to sleep in parks

US states are passing "very concerning" anti-homeless laws which see rough sleepers charged $750 (£630) for sleeping in public parks.

On January 1, Missouri, US, passed a new law that makes it a crime for any homeless person to sleep on a state property after the proposal was signed off by Missouri’s governor, Mike Parson, last June.

Anyone living on the street sleeping under highways and in park benches could face the fines or up to 15 days in prison.
