Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) is encouraging residents in his city to tattletale on their neighbors who defy his stay-at-home order. Specifically, he's targetting businesses that continue to remain open despite not being considered "essential" (at least by government standards).
If any non-essential businesses continue to operate in violation of the stay at home order, were going to act to enforce the safer at home order and ensure their compliance, Garcetti said. You know the old expression about snitches. Well, in this case, snitches get rewards.
We want to thank you for turning folks in and making sure we are all safe, the mayor said during a press conference Your decision to stay home may mean that theres one less person who needs a ventilator we do not have.
Garcettis office has already sent the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to 144 of the more than 500 non-essential businesses that failed to follow his order. Of those, four have been sent to the city attorneys office for misdemeanor charges.
The mayors team encouraged residents to submit business violations here, on the city website. Its unclear what the so-called rewards will be (if anything).
The announcement comes after Garcetti formed his "Safer at Home" Business Ambassadors program last month. The program "deploys city workers and volunteers with the mayor's Crisis Response Team to businesses that appear to be out of compliance with the emergency order with a goal of securing voluntary compliance. If voluntary compliance is not achieved, the ambassadors will share information with the city attorney and LAPD for follow-up."
'Snitches Get Rewards': Garcetti Encourages Community To Report Businesses Violating Safer At Home
Non essential? Like the Mayor’s Office?
The office is essential. The current idiots in it not so much.
If you want to hear a real metrosexual, bleeding heart, cumbya cheerleader listen to Eric Garshitty (Garcetti) most days on John and Ken KFI for his daily briefing.
He is the guy who started his time in office by saying we should thank inmates for doing their time when they get out. He just coined the term “Unhoused Neighbors” for homeless bums and vagabonds.
Went to iowa to peddle his BS and was sent home and told not gonna be president.
Remember folks, wherever you are, if you don’t tell them where you are going they can’t make it stick. No different than any other encounter with law enforcement. Keep your F****** mouth shut. And, if they say its okay and they are just collecting information, tell them to FO.
What a great opportunity to inform citizens of what democrats are truly like with power. I’m thankful the President Trump has refrained from issuing a nationwide isolation rule. This allows the contrast to be painfully obvious to even the most ardent supporters of the left. I often say that only those who are inexperienced or ignorant of history can have a desire for socialism or communism. This will give them a chance to see how little a government can provide versus the bounty of capitalism.
Liberals can’t help it. It’s who they are. Listened to reporter’s question the Mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, at a press conference re new stay at home announcement. The reporter’s were disappointed learning law enforcement was not going to be arresting people who misbehaved.
This could be a good way to get rid of Democrat neighbors. Chances are that they presume the rules are for other people and they go out anyway.
It’s coming for everyone. In Nashville you can call 311 and “report” anyone you “think SHOULD’NT be doing” something.
And to think there are hundreds of blithering idiots here on FR now telling us we are delusional to think our basic rights are being violated.
Some dickhead mayor in NY actually threatened to take away property of a Jewish synagogue forever if they held services. But move along folks, nothing to see here.

[That sure sound like the 3rd Reich in Germany]
Inside of every Democrat is a Nazi screaming to get out.
This is why they like to control silly things, like plastic bags, plastic straws and 32oz soft drinks (Bloomberg).
That reminds me of the old days at the beach.. watching police officers trying to get surfers (who didn’t stay on their side of the ocean!) to come in so they could arrest them. It was always entertaining and then sad.
...And wind up in ditches.
Im curious how much this will result in false accusations by snitchy neighbors with an axe to grind.
See Post #93
It would take a lot of nasty to be worse than the Gestapo.But it seems like Garcetti's got that nasty!
While there I asked a cop for directions and he was polite and helpful...didn't threaten me with handcuffs or anything.

Don’t expect the LAPD to respect their city limits. They have been sued lots of times for enforcement of city code outside the city limits and you can count on them to keep doing this.
Someone needs to read the article!
