Maryland to step up enforcement of coronavirus restrictions ahead of Thanksgiving with help of state police

Maryland is ramping up enforcement of coronavirus restrictions ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday as the pandemic surges just as people usually gather with family and socialize in bars, Gov. Larry Hogan announced Monday.

In addition to family gatherings on the holiday itself, the night before Thanksgiving has become one of the biggest bar-hopping nights of the year as people return to their hometowns and catch up with old friends over drinks.

“I cannot emphasize how reckless that behavior would be this year,” the Republican governor said during a news conference in the State House rotunda in Annapolis.

Health officials already have advised people to celebrate Thanksgiving with their immediate households only, and Maryland’s bars and restaurants have a state-mandated 10 p.m. closing time.

“These important safety measures and public health orders are only effective if they are being followed and enforced,” Hogan said.

To that end, the Maryland State Police will send out “high visibility compliance units” to Bel Air, Towson, Salisbury, Silver Spring, Baltimore’s Fells Point neighborhood and Allegany County, which has experienced the worst infection rate in the state in recent weeks.

Extra state troopers also will be assigned to work with local police and health officials on education and enforcement of the pandemic restrictions, which also include capacity limits, physical distancing requirements and rules that patrons must be seated in order to be served. They will focus on all venues that host gatherings, such as bars, restaurants and banquet halls. The state also is expanding its 24-hour hotline for reporting violations, which can be reached via 833-979-2266 or Prevent.Covid@maryland.gov.

So you can e-snitch, I guess. This should be treated with as much respect as the e-snitch line was in New York City.

Maryland "Freak State" PING!

I used to believe American cops and soldiers wouldn’t turn on their own people. Boy was I naive.

The locals know which restaurants the politicians like to huddle in, it would be a shame if they got tipped off and shut down for flouting social distancing edicts.

Ha. My mother, sister, her kids, and her fiancee will be at my other sister’s house for dinner in Pittsburgh that day. Which is almost as bad as being in MD. And my sister’s fiancee is a Fed Max prison guard, who stands about 6 foot 12 and tips the scale at 375 pounds. Not counting the bolts in his neck. Don’t make him angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.

I know that was from March but according to my friend’s sister, some cities are going back under lockdown in parts of Romania and LE is blocking roads in and out of those cities.

See something, say something ALERT!

I wonder if they have enough State Jack Booted Thugs to actually do much other than to terrorize a few people at a time.

I wonder if Hogan knows about Italy bringing in Chinese (Chicom) police to patrol their streets.

I wonder if our Governorlissima Lujan knows about that too.

Since so few local police and even fewer Sheriff’s departments want to enforce idiotic and unconstitutional edicts, (at least in NM..I can’t speak for Maryland), these thuggish Governors are going to have to bring in more enforcers if they want to keep their boots on all our necks much longer.
