The city of Richmond declares part of the city private property because of its high crime rate (streets, sidewalks et al.) Then it starts convicting people of trespass who are walking thru that area without commiting any crime except traveling thru the area (trespassing). The city bans people first but has no criteria set for this. In something akin to a miracle the Virginia Supreme Court struck the statute down as overly broad.

Now the federal supreme court is going to hear the case.
