Is sleeping in your car being illegal some sort of FREEDOM©®™ thing that I'm way too European to understand?

Sleeping in your car in public is not allowed in Germany either

I think that's the kind of law that never gets enforced.

Also, I'm 90% sure the homeless population and the car owning population have very little overlap in Germany.

Afaik it is allowed as long as its only to regain your driving capabilities and not for multiple nights I'm a row on the same place. The Straßenverkehrsordnung does not state otherwise.

Interesting, I've been told that it's illegal to sleep in your car in Canada when drunk because being in a car with possession of the keys is enough to show intent to DUI and get arrested.

I imagine it's something you could fight in court and win with a good lawyer, but it always seemed counter intuitive to me.

Simple solution: sleep on the back seats if drunk.

There should be secret laws you have to unlock by doing unfathomably inhumane things.

"You chased a homeless person in their own car off your completely unutilized property for no reason other than malice. You've been sentenced to 12 hours of fighting a flock of geese naked while locked in a middle school gym."

First time I’m rooting for the geese, usually they’re the assholes.

There should also be some extra sauce on the sentencing for anyone who carries a badge or position of legal power and abuses that.

Twice as much geese which are thrice as pissed?
