You missed the part where he says local officials can't detain you for violations. So, when Karen cop tries to stop you to give the ticket, walk away.

Except now they're going to fine you between $250 (in San Antonio) and $1000 in Houston.

They can't fine you if they can't detain you. Plus, the order says first time offenders must be given a warning. Yeah, how will Karen cop know that when she can't detain you or demand ID? Just walk away.

The $1000 fine in Harris county is for businesses, not individuals, and Abbott stated that the $1000 fine idea is superceded by his previous orders. There is no $1000 fine as I understand. These businesses are just in voluntary collusion with these dictators.

No, some cities have passed local criminal ordinances. County sheriffs won’t mess with you but city cops will be called when you go to a store in one of those cucked cities. So they can detain and cite you under their own ordinance.

If the cops come to a store, it won't be over the mask. It will be over trespassing. Plus when these ordinances first started coming out, ie Harris county, Abbott came out and said that the fines are superseded by his previous state orders. On top of all that, police agencies are laughing at the concept that they are expected to make any effort at all to enforce these stupid and obviously unconstitutional orders. It's not going to happen.

I’ll be curious to see how this plays out in a city like Round Rock who passed a mask ordinance. Good sized city with lots of stores. They’ve put the enforcement burden on businesses and yes, you will be asked to leave by the store or face trespassing as opposed to a mask violation.

I haven't seen an actual ordinance. Can you give an example? For example, the Pearland city mayor signed an order under the same emergency powers our dictator in chief is operating under. That's not an ordinance, and it's superseded by Abbott's orders. It also applied only to businesses, not individuals.

Got it. Have you read this order? That order is 100% completely unenforceable. It's so vague, there's no way it could withstand any scrutiny in court. Where would it be "difficult" to maintain 6ft social distancing? It's not enforceable. They have no intent of enforcing it. Just more fear porn to get compliance. The solution is just pure mass non-compliance. That hasn't happened yet, but I'm not sure that's going to continue. I'm hoping the news this week about the fraud of how they're corrupting the statistics is going to push people beyond compliance. We'll see what the sheep do.
