Denver County Court judge says the city’s urban camping ban is unconstitutional
A Denver County Court judge on Friday ruled the city’s controversial camping ban unconstitutional, according to a release from attorneys representing homeless advocates.
Denver County Judge Johnny Barajas found the ban to be unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits “cruel and unusual punishment,” and said it violates both the U.S. and Colorado constitutions. The decision was released by Attorney Andy McNulty.
