Because they can, until and unless someone files suit to make them stop.

some county bureaucrat and no mask, scarf or banana?



It's another excuse to make homelessness a crime, without directly doing so
(which they aren't allowed to do, given court precedent that such laws
violate the 4th, 8th, and 14th amendments; if this finds its way to court
and the lawyer opposing this law is competent at looking up precedent, a
few quick citations and this law is legally indefensible).
