So, to be clear, in Nassau County, you can now be fined $1,000 or put in jail for a year if a police officer decides you're not wearing a respirator for health reasons.
Because, y'know, we can trust police to make sound public health decisions.
Who are we kidding?
We can't even trust doctors in twenty twenty four to make sound public health decisions.
But we're gonna make it the job of police to decide if the act of protecting oneself from illness is punishable with jail time or extortion.
