It's so dragging thousands through the court and police system on a constant basis for basically no result leads to spending a huge amount of money and resources clogging up said system. What's the point in dragging a homeless person to court to be given a fine for being homeless they can't pay? Youre paying money and time for no result. Think of it like how canada used to mint pennies. A denomination too small for use and cost more to make than its worth.
