ACAB......
I got no respect for cops that enforce unconstitutional laws.
Just "doin my job" is not an acceptable excuse. Fuck these guys.
California Issued Tickets for Sitting in Cars at the Beach
By Faye Higbee
When Senator Ted Cruz complained
that we don’t live in a police state over a woman getting a ticket just
for driving by herself, it was the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
California issued citations for sitting in cars at the beach, and a lone
fisherman on the shore.
The freedom of movement we once knew in America has been whisked away in the blink of an eye.
News10 reported,
Senator Cruz believes that the rules are being enforced in a heavy-handed manner by states with Democrats in charge. Democrats love power.
According to Fox, DC officials say that going for a leisure drive to get outside is allowed, but because every state is different, the rules can be enforced independently.
Relatives have a lake in front of their home and a private dock. Because of Gov Inslee’s order in Washington, they are not allowed to fish from their own dock. Their homes are about 100 yards apart or more, which is about 33.3 feet. Would fishing from your own dock all by yourself be a health hazard? We think not. Correction: Over 300 feet, not 33.
There may be some light at the end of this long, dark tunnel, as in some states the rates of infection are starting to level off, which is likely due to the stay at home orders. But the heavy-handed approach in some states leaves us wondering. You can’t keep people cooped up in their homes for long periods of time without repercussions far and above just spreading the virus.
A friend of one of the offenders tells me everyone was sitting in their cars eating. They didn’t know each other. A few people got out of their cars but they were much more than 6 feet apart. Sheriff’s department rolled up, gave them citations, filmed it, put it on social media. https://t.co/WAVFEJaJ9OThis is a legally enforceable order issued under California law-Govt. Code section 8665. It's a crime to violate this order and you may be punished by up to a $1,000 fine or six months behind bars or both for doing so. #StayHomeSaveLives #WeStayAtWorkForYou #PleaseStayHomeForUs— San Diego Sheriff (@SDSheriff) April 4, 2020

Message from a follower. Guy standing alone on the shore fishing is threatened with a fine. There is no reason for this, other than as an excuse for local officials to flex their muscles. By the way, fishing may well be an “essential” activity for those who can’t afford groceries pic.twitter.com/PQuYi9wJWZ— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) April 4, 2020
The freedom of movement we once knew in America has been whisked away in the blink of an eye.
News10 reported,
“Nearly a couple dozen people found out Friday night that the sheriff meant business when he said keep a safe distance or pay up.We’re reported before that police were now starting to enforce the stay-at-home orders. But the issue here is one of degrees – Is sitting in your car by yourself a health hazard? Is fishing by yourself alone with no one else around a health hazard?
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department says deputies issued 22 citations to individuals caught violating the state’s extreme social distancing order.
The sheriff’s department conducted a targeted enforcement operation Friday night between 5 p.m. and midnight in the cities of Encinitas, Solana Beach, and Del Mar, as well as the surrounding unincorporated areas.”
