A man was cited outside a Florida supermarket after undercover plainclothes officers busted him for wearing his face mask incorrectly.
The incident happened this week outside a Publix in North Miami Beach.
The man, Dean Gonzalez, who was wearing a mask when he was confronted by police, insists he wasn’t trying to violate mask orders and argues he was entrapped.
“It was like a trap,” Gonzalez toldLocal10.com. “It was a mask trap.”
According to Gonzalez, he was speaking with officers when the mask moved beneath his nose.
“That was enough for the officer to threaten Gonzalez with arrest,” reports Local10.
In cell phone footage taken by Gonzalez documenting the incident, a masked man displaying a badge tells Gonzalez he can either receive a citation or go to jail.
“You have to wear it properly,” the officer told him. “If you’re not wearing it properly, it’s like you’re not wearing it at all.”
Gonzalez was taken aback by the citation and criticized officers’ overzealous enforcement.
“Use a little more common sense than ticketing people with masks on their actual face. Why don’t you go after people who have no mask?” he said.
On Wednesday, Miami-Dade county increased penalties for mask violations, with first and second time offenders being fined $100 instead of $50, and third time violators facing $500 fines. The county’s mask order does not, however, state a requirement that masks must be worn over a person’s mouth and nose.
That’s nothing compared to Glendale, California, where first time offenders face fines of $400, $1,000 for a second offense, and a whopping $2,000 for a third violation.
Here are 2 rules Gonzalez should know for dealing with police …
1. Always be calm and cool. 2. Always remember Rule 1.
Some might think that venting anger is healthy, that the people around you are too sensitive, that your anger is properly justified, or that you need to show your fury to get respect you demand. But the truth is that anger is much more likely to have a negative impact on the way people see you, completely impair your judgment, and get in the way of success and cause you problems. Further truth is that venting your “furious anger” to police officers can cost you 100 dollars.

… there are techniques that can help you get your furious anger under control and express your feelings in healthier ways.
Classic "Comrade" Gatlin - his fealty to the Corona cult and it's High Priest Fauci has limited his ability to see tyranny for what it really is - that said, the database shows Tater's long-standing love affair with socialism.

Overzealous? Add to that capricious, vindictive, petty.
That you fail to see that only further displays your submissive obedience to the Fauci cult.
