San Francisco has been under a stay-at-home order since Dec. 6, and has a new San Francisco travel order in place through at least January 4.

With these restrictions in place, it can be confusing how the city enforces them.

Travel warning: SF requires quarantine for 10 days

The San Francisco Police Department told KRON that “violation of or failure to comply with this order is a misdemeanor punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both.”

Police provided the following data tracking back to March 17, 2020.

• 0 citations for face mask violations
• 150 admonishments for violating shelter-in-place
  • Broken down: 82 individuals and 68 businesses
• 30 citations for violating shelter-in-place
  • Broken down: 15 individuals and 15 businesses

Police said the shelter-in-place violations included non-essential businesses operating after being told to shut down, as well as individual people who did not go home when warned.

People in San Francisco without homes are mostly exempt from the order. Police said they prefer to teach people about voluntarily complying with the city’s orders.

“We do not want to use a criminal justice approach for a public health challenge,” police said.

:

Have yourself a scary little Christmas
Fill your Yule with fright.
From now on
Let demons haunt each lonely night.

Have yourself a scary little Christmas
Let the vampires bite.
Pretty soon
Your nightgown will be red, not white.

Let’s go lurk where the zombies grope
Where there is no hope or dreams.
Where creepies crawl through the holiday
And hellhounds bay and scream.

Have yourself a scary little Christmas
Bathe in death’s perfume.
Slit your wrists and sing a song of doom and gloom.
Buy yourself a scary little Christmas tomb.

Want to be scared this Christmas?

So there can be imprisonment for violations? But what about how they have been releasing prisoners from prison, due to fear they will get the virus while in prison?

Does this shelter-in-place apply to Nancy Pelosi? Or does she get to get her hair done minus the mask?

Let me tell you something

Everytime I go to San Francisco on appointments I do not wear a friggin mask.

I say hello to 2, 3, 4 or more cops as I walk merrily to my appointments.

I was in the city twice this week and walking past several LEO wished them “Merry Christmas and Please Stay Safe”

They smiled behind their masks and bid me the same.

Merry Christmas.

Once again, police are all too willing to enforce unconstitutional orders.
