Where is it illegal to sleep in your car?

almost everywhere in the USA.
- Here in Statesia we built "rest stops" on the side of the Interstate were you could stay overnight but have to move on. They're wonderful on a 5-day roadtrip, but if you have to live in your car, they're a reliable toilet, maybe water and one night's decent sleep i guess? I don't know, I've never thought about it in depth. They always seem too far from civilization here to be any use to the unhoused.
America
Lots of countries in Europe.
In mine for example.
- Really?
  I live in Europe and have a van and have been using that parking for the past 4 years and have never had any bother.
  Which EU countries are you referring to?
Also to camp on public land? You can on most public property in Ontario as long as you move your camp 100m every 21 days.
- Almost no public land in a lot of countries. pretty much everything is owned by someone in the UK
- US national forests have a similar rule. It's called "dispersed camping." The issue is, there aren't many national forests. Especially on the east coast, most land is owned by someone, and even state/federal land is rarely a national forest, and nothing else has this rule as far as I'm aware.
- You can in state and national parks in the US too... If you're sneaky about it, or if you pay a lot fee
If you move the car every day it should be fine anywhere in the EU*, but that in itself can be pretty annoying if, say, you're trying to keep a job.
If not, there's all sorts of regulations about where and when. IIRC there is no distinction made between cars that are made for sleeping in and those that aren't. But there is a distinction between parking it and living in it.
Personal experience: if you choose your place carefully you're good for at least a week. OTOH, that was a while ago.
I just remembered that touristy places might not be fine, as happened to me in Holland.
- Yeah that's why I'm asking, I've got a van. Not a coach-built moho, just a SWB white van.
  Have been driving that around Spain, and when driving back to the UK, several other EU countries and I've never had a knock or been questioned by the pigs or even disgruntled locals.
  I have seen loads of mess left by other campers, which will be the root of the problem and we all get tarred as a result
It's often not, but people do report it. It's just such an asshole mind set
Under the "loitering" you are not allowed to stand on the sidewalk. Act of homelessnes itself is illegal.

Unless the tent is surrounded by trash and broken pipes

I might be homeless, but I still have standards goddammit

Eh... Thats tricky...
I would try and see if someone could do a wellness check, but call a local clinic that deals with that. Dont start with the cops, there is a much higher chance to only make it worse.
- Cops? Nah.
  Maybe in a state park the park police (rangers), but they'd still have to be pretty blatantly disgusting. I'm just a man with a sixth grade education who loves nature

No, but I will report assholes that are street racing or obviously impaired drivig.

well, yeah. those are people who are endangering innocents and making society worse

Lemmy users wouldn't donate a dime or volunteer a minute of their time but they will shit post about telling other people it's okay that crackheads fill kids parks with needles and steal from business in the community.

I'd like to see one of these posts you're referring to in which someone says "it's okay that crackheads fill kids parks with needles and steal from businesses in the community" because you're the only one I've ever heard say that.
- This one. Most police aren't called because there's a tent in the woods. It's when the garbage piles up, needles end up in the park and cars and homes get broken into.
stfu
- When they know it's true this is the response
WTF is THIS ignorance??? Found the festering cunt!
- You know what I just realized where I am. So fuck it. Didn't realize there was a whole propaganda sub to push the left into radical territory. There's nothing to discuss here that's with the time. Also fuck off. I'm tired off the left getting behind shit like ignore stealing and people putting tents up when there's clear evidence of risk.

2022?

Yeah, I'm not very creative

I don't care about the last two, but t ⛺ in woods is a problem for me. At some point my wife wasn't able to go to local park because of hobos living there. It took just one of them chasing her while naked and high to sour the whole thing. So yeah I report.

That totally happened.
- If you think it didn't, then I envy you. But I'm not surprised. People that proselytize hobo worshipping over here don't actually have to deal with the reality of the situation.
