6. San Diego must be remarkably crime free for
an officer to have the time to ticket someone for the awful offense of trying to help the homeless. :sarcasm:

Years ago my husband belonged to a flying club that distributed Thanksgiving dinners to various Indian tribes around the state. (This before the casinos became big business.) One year there was a miscommunication and a tribe near San Diego didn't show up to collect the food. My husband was stuck with several planeloads of thawing turkeys and other supplies. An airport worker heard what was happening and contacted an organization called the San Diego Coalition for the Homeless. They immediately sent trucks to take the food and my husband later received a letter from the woman who headed the organization explaining that over 600 people were fed thanks to their donation. It's a good thing that incident didn't happen today. My husband and the airport worker might just be facing a fine - or worse.
