Miami Police Set Up ‘Mask Traps,’ Issue $100 Fines For Wearing Improperly

“No one is safe from Miami-Dade’s new $100 no-mask fine. Not even people wearing masks,” said theMiami Herald headline.

Two weeks ago, officials in Miami-Dade County announced it would start issuing $100 fines for people for not wearing masks in public. But as usual, the over-the-top edict has been misapplied, with Florida media outlets jammed with reports about people being fined for wearing masks improperly, dropping the mask to eat or drink, or taking it off once safely outside a store.

“On July 17, Johanna Gianni said she had just finished shopping at a Publix in North Miami Beach and was walking back to her car when she took off the face mask she had worn inside the store. Almost immediately, a police officer came up to her and told her she was getting a ticket for not wearing a mask in a public space,” The Herald reported. “Despite showing the officer she had a mask in her hand, Gianni still got the citation. She says it felt like a set-up to catch shoppers after they followed the rules where it really mattered, inside the grocery. The parking lot was nearly empty, she said, and no one was around her when she took the mask off.”

Dean Gonzalez said he was wearing his face mask when he stopped at a North Miami Beach supermarket, but he received a $110 citation anyway.

This is ridiculous Biden wears his mask for over an hour hanging off one ear looking like a cow with an ear tag and that's ok, the latest hearings over half wore no mask and it was ok but Barr not wearing his was not ok and he was even refused a bathroom break. Rules and policies in a hearing should be the same for all and leaving an establishment and getting into your car you should be allowed to remove a mask. It's all about making a point and this officer made one and made sure the media got it.

Biden assumes if he plays nut job,

the Feds will place him in a Mental state Institution,

instead of Federal Prison
