== Personal Experiences ==
[[User: Fedecicco| Fede]] was caught wild camping three times and detained by the police, once . Once in Azilal,on in the atlas Atlas mountains, asking for a spot near a mosque, the security didnt authorised didn't authorise him until arrive arrival of the cops (amn watani) who treated him politely and explained they must force him go to a hotel. Second time in Sa'idya (border with Algeria and "maximum suspect") while hitchhiking brought at to a police station with a ridiculous scam (policeman said "this friend of mine will bring u you to a better spot") and kept hours checking documents and asking questions; last lastly in Chefchaouen where a nocturnal guardian directly called them the police (kept for 5 hours, taken fingerprints and the day after threaten threatened to be expelled from the "kingdom" if he didn't leave the city). Each time police clarified that it was illegal to sleep in the streets or as guest by moroccans at Moroccans for "security reasons", i.e. according to them and that law, any every foreigner must go to a hotel or guesthouse every night unless mergency there is an emergency situation where u dont you don't have alternatives. Of course the practice is different than the theory, though pay attention, especially if u r you are not european, cause because they could be extremely racist.
