Theoretically he could have been convicted a few times (probably on a plea deal) and done a few months or years, but it suggests that he was indeed arrested many more times than he was convicted because no one serves 20 prison sentences by the age of 30.
It's a super common tactic among people who vilify the homeless to suggest all arrests or even most have even the slimmest bit of legitimacy rather than cops just bullying vulnerable people who live near where a crime happened before releasing them on dropped charges.
Doesn't him being arrested 40 times inherently imply he was never arrested for any actual crime?

If you’re homeless I imagine arrests happen a lot

Every single arrest was justified because he didn't have any money to pay to expunge his record.
Imagine if all of the time and money invested in each of those 40+ arrests was instead invested in providing him with basic human needs
no, it means some bureaucrat got him off on a technicality, don't you watch SVU / CSI / CSI: Miami / CSI: it's actually the navy?
