Hours after Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced sweeping executive orders Monday to restrict public gatherings and business operations due to the new coronavirus, state police and local law enforcement agencies said they were prepared to arrest those who deliberately flout the directives....
...Officers, who are being instructed to record gatherings via their body-worn cameras, will be empowered to break up large gatherings of more than 50 people at all venues in the county, and officials also have the authority to further reduce the number.

Pack them into the holding cell.
Does this include gatherings of government or media types?
WOW!!
I hope those that have been mortally terrified here think a little security and safety was worth their freedom.
“oh things will go right back to normal after the virus is gone”
Maybe. Or maybe they’ll find another and another and another reason to use their power because God knows it is Tasty!!
I was supervisor of a crew of about 60 that came in staggered shifts during a 12 hour day..
There’s something about telling someone they have to do something and them knowing if they don’t, they’ll lose their jobs, that’s kind of intoxicating.
And that was 60 people at an investment bank.
Wonder what having life and death power over millions is like
Could get very interesting this weekend.
I envision Muslims fingering Jews on Friday evening and Muslim (along with rainbow activists) diming out Christians on Sunday, especially the more conservative Churches.
But the homeless/vagrants/bums will still be able to be about defecating where ever and demanding this and that.
It always did to me but I’m not in the mood to get statistics and charts sent to me by True Believers right now.
Caution needed to be taken.
Rights didn’t need to be stripped away
