On Sunday afternoon, September 29, 2024, Santa Monica Police officers issued a citation to a homeless woman found camping in the Santa Monica Pier parking lot. The woman, who was already known to officers, had been warned the previous day for camping in the same area. After being cited, the woman dismantled her encampment, and officers resumed their patrol along the beach. The camping activity was a violation of Santa Monica Municipal Code , which prohibits camping in public areas, including beaches, streets, parks, and government properties. The code strictly forbids such activities in these public spaces.
