They're not saying the people are exempt from obeying the law, they're saying the law is wrong. If there's no room in shelters and someone has no home to sleep in or money for a hotel, what are they supposed to do? That's not a rhetorical question, what are they supposed to do? Go to jail? We already have laws against public indecency that cops are supposed to enforce but criminalizing the act of sleeping when you have no other choice is what this is about.
