More stupidity from here. There is a musician who was busted for having a clandestine party a little while back. The other night was his birthday and he had 4 friends over to his apartment. His area is in phase 2, so you are allowed to have gatherings of up to 5 people. I guess they had the music on loud because a neighbor called the cops to complain. The police came and arrested them all for a “curfew violation” because it was after 9 PM!?!?! Curfew means you are not allowed to be out. They were in an apartment. Now the government has the idiot crime prevention undersecretary on TV to say that after curfew you can’t be in someone else’s home. You have to be in your home to prevent virus transmission. So, the virus is only dangerous if you are with other people after 9 PM? Up until 8:59 the virus behaves?

It seems like such an overreach. It feels like the police, military, etc. are so accustomed to repressing us that they have lost any criteria. If they were violating a local noise ordinance, fine him for a noise violation. But, curfew violation in your own apartment? What stupidity. If his visitors had realized it was getting late and tried to hurry home, but were caught on the streets, that could qualify as a curfew violation, which is still annoying, but it would have made more sense.
