According to Pennlive, 19-year-old Anita Shaffer went for a drive last Sunday just to get out of her house. On her way back, Shaffer was stopped by two Pennsylvania State Police officers.
During the stop — which the troopers initiated over a faulty taillight and dark window tint — Shaffer told the officers that she was just "going for a drive." The officers responded by writing her a ticket fining her more than $200 for violating Pennsylvania's stay-at-home order.
The citation says Shaffer "failed to abide by the order of the governor and secretary of health issued to control the spread of a communicable disease, requiring the closure of all non-life-sustaining businesses as of 20:00 hours on March 19, 2020. To wit, defendant states that she was 'going for a drive' after this violation was in effect," according to Pennlive.

“Interestingly, Shaffer later discovered that her taillight, in fact, did work.”
jerk cops...wanted to get to the young female and harass her, that's what I think....
Or: Talk to my lawyer.
Me: My client was on a legitimate shopping errand. She had to go miles to find what she wanted and still couldn’t find it. Prove otherwise.
Doesn't sound very life-threatening to me. Cite the cops for wasting resources.
Cite them for endangering her by being too close to her.
Shaffer has pleaded not guilty and plans to take her case before a judge.

Illegal stop....FRUIT OF THE POISONOUS TREE...NOT GUITY!
Could be a mental health issue.
Definitely essential to relieve the burden on the Medicos.
Just doing my part.
“Or: Talk to my lawyer.”
Yep, I’d be fighting that one, and appealing if need be. But it might get dismissed because the courts aren’t open.
The answer is always “going to the grocery store”.
Carry that new bottle of cough syrup in a bag with you...you’re taking it to a friend. Receipt?? It must have gotten lost.
Ask for a jury trial, too...
Hmmmmm....
True.
She should have said “I was looking for toilet paper”.
Wow.
