Googling…wait, is this real? https://systemicjustice.org/article/landlords-as-cops/
I thought evictions took 30-90 days and required court approval in the US.
Ranvier ( @Ranvier@sopuli.xyz ) 24•1 year agoThis is real. It’s also one reason why laws against gay sex were on the books in many states until finally overturned by the Supreme Court in 2003 in Lawrence v Texas. Sometimes police would use the laws directly, but more commonly since gay sex was considered a criminal activity, landlords would use it as an excuse to deny lgbt people housing or evict them.
