Where most American laws required people to do something criminal before they could be arrested, vagrancy laws emphatically did not. _ Armed with this roving license to arrest, officials employed vagrancy laws for a breath-taking array of purposes: to force the local poor to work or suffer for their support; to keep out poor or suspicious strangers; to suppress differences that might be dangerous; to stop crimes before they were committed; to keep racial minorities, political troublemakers, and nonconforming rebels at bay. As these uses suggest, vagrancy laws were linked to a conception of postwar American society—as they had been linked to a conception of sixteenth-century English society—in which everyone had a proper place. The vagrancy law was often the go-to response against anyone who threatened, as many described it during vagrancy laws’ heyday, to move “out of place” socially, culturally, politically, racially, sexually, economically, or spatially. Over time, states and localities deployed and retooled vagrancy laws for use against almost any—real or perceived, old or new—threat to public order and safety. #BlackCodes #RPD #richmondpolicedepartment #VagrancyLaws #CopWatch #BadPolicing #newafrikan77wordpress #RichmondVA #Virginia #policebrutality #804 #RVA #DMV #HakiKweliShakur #Slavery #SaveShockoe #shockoebottom #12 #SlaveTrade #SlaveFugitiveLaws #SlaveFugitiveAct #Crimina
