Police Slap Christians With $500 Fines for Attending Drive-In Worship Service
https://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/watch-pol ... p-service/
Police in Greenville, Miss., issued $500 tickets to Christians who gathered in a church parking lot to worship together in the safety of their cars on Wednesday. The Christians at Temple Baptist Church intended to honor coronavirus social distancing restrictions while gathering to worship God, but the police cracked down, regardless.
Charles E. Hamilton Jr., pastor of King James Bible Baptist Church, raised the alarm on Facebook Wednesday evening.
"The police in Greenville, MS went to Temple Baptist Church this evening and gave everyone there a ticket for $500 because they had a drive in service," Hamilton posted. "Everyone was in their cars with the windows up listening to pastor Arthur Scott preached on the radio. What is harmful about people being in their cars listening to preaching with their windows up? Christians do you all see what is going on?"

The local tyrants issued orders – take careful note, not laws – that violate constitutional rights under the auspices of public health, whatever that is (it can’t be this, because the officers made everyone less safe by demanding the congregants roll their windows down).
The police went right along, because orders. Orders from superiors. What does all of this tell you about whether they’ll follow orders to confiscate firearms under … public health orders?
Take note, this didn’t occur in a deep red state, it happened in the Deep South.

I told my wife when the stay at home orders started the "mattress inspectors" would gleefully be on the rampage! I hope the federal courts are inundated with civil rights violation cases! I can't wait to see how the SCOTUS responds.

Crazier than that is Lowes and Home Depot!!! Full parking lots! I drove there to get some lumber, turn around and went back home. I’ll just have it delivered.

Kind of makes you hope one of those officers turns up positive so they can sue for wreckless endangerment on top of constitutional rights violations.
I hope not a single person pays the fine.
ETA:
So do they stop all vehicles out and about and ticket anyone not going to the ER?

I took "booze" to mean liquor.
No Church on Sundays until the government says so. The Constitution is suspended until the Kung Flu over.

Kentucky State Troopers Spent Their Easter Sunday Taking Down License Plate Numbers Of Congregants Who Attended Worship Services
https://www.wdrb.com/news/coronavirus/k ... 1c625.html
HILLVIEW, Ky. (WDRB) — The pastor of a Bullitt County church says he won’t comply with an order to self-quarantine while he and his attorney discuss their next steps.
Troopers with Kentucky State Police arrived at Maryville Baptist Church on Easter Sunday morning to record license plate information of churchgoers who attended a mass gathering during the coronarivus pandemic.
Pastor Jack Roberts and his allies have argued they have a constitutional right to continue in-person church services, and Sunday, dozens of families attended the Easter service at the Bullitt County church despite an executive order from Gov. Andy Beshear that prohibits mass gatherings in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Beshear said Friday that anyone who participates in mass gatherings of any type during Easter weekend will be required to self-quarantine for two weeks.
