The People of the City and County of San Francisco find that persons who loiter or linger at or near automatic public toilets imperil the public's safety and welfare. Some of the automatic public toilets are being used as a place of narcotics sales and use, and for disposal of hypodermic needles. In addition, the People find that persons making legitimate use of automatic public toilets have become intimidated and fearful for their safety because of the presence of persons loitering in or near the toilets and leaving drug paraphernalia in and around the toilets, preventing persons with legitimate need for the toilets from using the toilets. Limiting the number of persons who may use an automatic public toilet at any one time and prohibiting loitering or lingering at or near such toilets may decrease the incidence of these crimes by providing law enforcement officers with an additional crime fighting tool that does not infringe on any person's basic rights.
No state law addresses this type of behavior or protects the public from these problems.
