This one really ticks me off. Leaving aside the fact that it will be (not even could, WILL) be used to further oppress minority groups, all I need to do is say I'm going to go congregate indoor with no masks with hundreds of other parishioners at Trinity Bible Chapel and apparently I'll be fine. Police have already demonstrated they refuse to enforce the restrictions we have against certain groups (they have no problem going and ticketing student parties), so......what exactly is the point here?
I really doubt there will be many police stops, let alone tickets handed out. I believe this is included in order to get people to take the restrictions seriously, which has been a real issue. This threat might have at least some impact.
Because, a week into the stay-at-home order, the new cases are still rising rather than dropping: there is no indication so far that anything has improved with this stay-at-home order.
