Ticketed for Not Wearing a Mask

A few people in my town have been ticketed for not wearing masks. I know for a fact (I was with the city department, and most of my family are officers, too), this is not being enforced. The ticket for this violation is often used just to spite certain people, and usually when other charges are unlikely to stick. Those people who were ticketed are the usual suspects, in and out of jail for various drug-related offenses or skipping out on a court date, that kind of stuff. It's never the people who own a business, the lawyers on First Avenue, the people with a well-known and respected last name. It's always the less desirables. This mandate has been nothing more than another opportunity for the police to harass certain people.

I’m glad they were ticketed personally. We’ve had to wear masks since March here. I’m tired of people thinking they are special and above all the rules in place.

@Keepitsimple I'm glad they were, too, but I'm a little more concerned with the fact that this only applies to poor people.

@InkBot Thats something I guess they have to take up with judge.

@Keepitsimple Right, just let them handle it.

The fact there even has to be a mandate to enforce what should be the most basic step to avoid being infected by a global pandemic is ridiculous enough. Put on a f%cking mask.
In my country it’s law. Everyone wears masks.

@Invocations In my country, the leaders are strongly encouraging people to ignore the science and CDC recommendations.
In the US this should be federally mandated, required and enforceable by law with penalties for not doing so.The US is the laughing stock of the world.
