Tickets to people they still flock to the beaches. The state parks in marion county, the unincorporated areas which is why at 1159 last night they decided to go ahead and tell people youre no longer welcome at state parks in marine county and other unincorporated areas if you drive to the location and walk into the parks and if they spot your car. They will issue a ticket a 100 they will have full enforcement by the Sheriffs Department and other Police Agencies throughout marine county, the whole goal is to keep you at home to let you celebrate easter in your neighborhood or in your front yard but not come out to the state parks and beaches and we talked about his robin marty for weeks now, but even the governor when he first issued the shelter in place and then he saw the huge number of people turning out to the museums the parks and the other areas that he told people to grow up. Well hes no longer telling people to grow up. Now hes giving people 100 reasons to stay home for easter.

I cant believe at this point theyre still not listening you dont want that ticket thank you will we appreciate well as the u. S. Death toll from the coronav

They will start issuing fines of 100 starting 1159 last night so its a new law on the books and this will go on for several weeks because they know that a lot of people are ignoring the shelterinplace especially. Given that this sundays Easter Sunday was so many people coming out to parks. Like this one they know that to come out to the parks oftentimes they have to drive and park their cars so there will be many locations where they know people historically park their cars they will put signs out they say no parking and when they do the enforcement they will issue a ticket a 100 theyve been trying to do this marty for the past week or so, but there have been warnings and thousands of tickets have been written warning tickets and theyre done with adam that mayor the governor Governor Ne
