I imagine street bums, with all that time spent on the street, must be witness to countless criminal acts, from drug/prostitution deals to gangland massacres and even the occasional crime against humanity (or fashion). As such, they probably get questioned by the police if they happen to loiter around the scenes of these crimes, and loiter they very well might, seeing as a great many of them are plowed beyond the point of self-locomotion. Now what about the bums with jobs? If someone can't keep their substance abuse problem from interfering with work, well then that's grounds for dismissal. But if they keep showing up late because they had to give a deposition to a grand jury or sworn testimony for an affidavit, then does that makes you, their boss, the bad guy for terminating their employ because their attendance problem was really in the service of the greater public good?

Not that I speak from experience, I'm just saying...
