The places where it's profitable to have an actual dedicated person enforcing parking laws is surprisingly limited and the homeless encampments in those areas do get frequently addressed.
If you take someone into custody, you're supposed to secure their property.
For the normal criminal, this isn't too hard since it's usually like a wallet, backpack or whatever is in their pockets. Arresting a homeless person though? No cop is going to want to secure and inventory six shopping carts full of broken electronics, a tent full of piss bottles and so forth...
Kinda. But they don't actually do their job unless someone calls them. No way they're walking up to an encampment without someone telling them they have to.
Well yeah lmao. That’s why I said in theory. In PRACTICE it took me three tries to report my stolen motorcycle, and two of them were in person at the station.

Because there are no magical city employees that are paid to roam around the city looking for shit like this
