    Not wearing a mask in South Beach may cost you $50 beginning on Tuesday. 6/30/2020

    Amid a rising number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Miami-Dade County, the mayor of Miami Beach announced Monday the city would begin issuing fines to those who ignore rules requiring the use of facial coverings indoors and outside if social distance cannot be observed.

    The city’s new crackdown does not go as far as its neighbors across the bay in the city of Miami, which requires the use of masks at all times in public except for when exercising, eating or working outdoors or by very young or medically vulnerable groups.

    Here you go folks, IF your not going to act responsibly while out in public the government is going to force you to. I hate wearing a mask but I'm not going to risk getting sick or getting someone else sick.

    some states fine you for smoking in your car, not wearing a seat belt, the list goes on.... the slippery slope had already begun

    one can argue that you "should" do these things... but they should not be mandated by law that you do them

    I wish I lived there. I would try to get that ticket, frame it, and never pay it. I would show up in court if summoned to let the judge know I'm a free American and he/she can jail me if he/she so chooses.

    The most interesting Florida news regarding masks is that Jacksonville is now mandating masks be worn inside and out. Sooooo...how's Trump going to handle this one?

    Driving is a privilege. How you ever confused this with being in public on a beach is crazy. How you confused it with indecent exposure is also crazy. Do you have any other ridiculously stupid things to share? :banana:

    Well this isn't just a rally. It isn't a stadium (semi) filled with followers. Attendees will be politicians of all levels - and if they are at all concerned about re-election, they will have to obey the laws. What will Trump say, standing in front of a sea of masks?

    I'm ok with the fines.

    Were about 75% compliance on the other side of FL. It's potentially a lot easier on the economy vs lockdowns.

    Oh... so suddenly driving is not a privilege? You're comparisons were nuked and now you look ridiculous with this pathetic tangent that was crushed.

    Sounds like a well thought out plan....

    BTW, if you went to jail, you'd be a formerly free American...

    EDIT - Personally, I'd wear the mask over losing $50...

    Let me guess, he's going to burn his drivers license, then go rear end a cop car and state that a Free American doesn't need no stinkin' license...

    Go fly a plane, let me know how it works out for you. You really don't understand the difference between a privilege and a right? But, I have found most Leftists are seriously confused on what "rights" truly are, so perhaps it's just a cognitive issue with Leftists?

    It is O.K. - But, making it a requirement in a beach setting is for authoritarians.

    Why don’t you educate me then. Why do you think you have a right to not wear a mask. Do you have a right to walk around with your dick out? I haven’t seen it, but I’m guessing it poses less of a health risk than not wearing a mask.

    There are similar laws for women in the Middle East.

    A scrawy guy has a hard time attracting women on the beach....so he goes to the life guard and asks for advice and the lifeguard tells him "Next time...wear a speedo 2 sizes small and drop a potato inside" the guy decides to follow the advice

    The next day...the scrawny guy comes back and all the women run away in horror except for the lifeguard. The guy asks the lifeguard "You told me this would work!"

    The lifeguard shook his head and said "The potato...goes in the front"

    That's not bad...

    Also, the laws for women wearing coverings in the ME are laws, not temporary health measures....
