LA court orders power cut at restaurant that defied COVID rules. So the owner bought a generator.https://www.theblaze.com/news/court-orders-power-cut-restaurant-defied-covid-rulesA Los Angeles County court authorized the City of Burbank to disconnect electricity powering a restaurant that refused to shut down in compliance with extreme pandemic-related restrictions.
What happened?
Tinhorn Flats refused to abide by a temporary restraining order issued March 8 that required the restaurant to remain closed because the restaurant violated COVID-19 restrictions, KTTV-TV reported.
But the restaurant continued operations in defiance of the order.
In response, a Los Angeles Superior Court said Friday that Burbank officials could disconnect power at the restaurant.
In a statement issued by the city, officials hinted they may seek to lock the doors of the restaurant if the owners continue to operate their small business.
The power cut-off order violated "cruel an unsual punishment", IMO, and locking their doors would all the more so. Both punishments are grossly disproportionate to the "offense" (setting aside whether the "offense" was against an unconstitutional order).
