 Gunnell says it doesn't stop people from dispersed camping on BLM or National Forest land within the allowable timelines on those lands. It doesn't criminalize the status of being homeless. What it does criminalize is the activity of staying in a place where somebody is forbidden from staying for an extended period of time. He tells KBND News the ruling strikes a balance between the right of a community to access its public lands and the rights of those who want to camp in those places.
