Overnight RV Parking Raises a Stink in Venice A long-running dispute flared up again last week after a neighborhood watch captain claimed she saw a woman passenger in a large camper dispose of human waste in a gutter. The resident got the license number and called the police as the vehicle pulled away, spilling sewage and toilet paper behind it.

The passenger was arrested and then let go, but now City Attorney Carmen Trutanich says he plans to prosecute.

In this divided nation, public trust in the rule of law is also at stake. How will the bitter battle over Brett Kavanaugh impact next month’s midterm elections?
