Richard Milton walked out of his medical appointment in Culver City into the noon sun. He needed to get back to the garage space he calls home. Black, 66, and a proud Army veteran, Milton has struggled with homelessness for years. âThe garage is my sanctuary,â he said. âI have privacy there.â
Milton looked both ways before crossing the street midblock. He was almost to the bus stop when a police car slowed, lights flashing. Two officers wrote him up for jaywalking â a $198 citation that quickly rose to more than $500 thanks to late fees (called civil assessments), assessed after he couldnât pay.

Those police sirens aren’t for me, right?
I was just a few blocks from my apartment, biking home from the campus bookstore at Chico State University, where I am a student, when I heard the bleep from the police car behind me. I pulled over to let it pass. Instead, it stopped next to me.
