Washington state justices weigh towing of vehicles of homeless

SEATTLE - Lawyers for a man forced to sleep outside after Seattle police had the truck he was living in towed asked the Washington Supreme Court on Thursday to declare such impoundments unlawful.
Steven Long was working part-time as a janitor at CenturyLink Field and living in his old GMC pickup in 2016 when police warned him it was illegal to park in the city-owned, gravel lot for more than 72 hours.
They gave him extra time because he told them he needed to obtain parts for the vehicle, but when he failed to move it within a week, the truck, which contained his tools, sleeping bag and other belongings, was impounded.
