𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗: LAPD Issues Citation to Boardwalk Performer Amid Homeless Sweep

VENICE, CA — Wednesday, November 5, 2025 — During a coordinated multi-agency cleanup operation along the Venice Beach Boardwalk on Wednesday, Los Angeles Police Officers detained a street artist in handcuffs and placed him temporarily in a patrol vehicle before issuing a citation for allegedly operating outside of his designated performance space. According to officers on scene, the citation was issued under Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 42.15 — the regulation that governs vending, performing, and equipment placement inside marked performance boxes. The ordinance prohibits performers from placing objects outside their assigned boundaries or obstructing access between designated spaces. Officials said most of the individual’s belongings were discarded because Department of Public Works Environmental Compliance Inspectors (E.C.I.) deemed the items contaminated and a potential biohazard. Cleanup teams then resumed their scheduled homeless sweep and sanitation operation, which are conducted regularly to maintain accessibility and public safety in the high-traffic beachfront area. Santa Monica Closeup continues to document public events of local significance across the Westside, including homelessness outreach, law enforcement activity, and Venice Beach’s evolving street performer culture. — #VeniceBeach #VeniceBoardwalk #Cleanup #PublicWorks #Homelessness #StreetPerformer — 𝗖𝗢𝗣𝗬𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘 This video is protected by copyright and provided for personal viewing only.
