Nearly 50 cited in State College with breaking coronavirus safety rules

State College police have cited 43 people with violating coronavirus safety measures since the borough approved an emergency ordinance last month.

The ordinance, which went into effect Aug. 17, limits social gathering sizes and requires face masks in public, among other regulations.

In a Thursday news release, State College officials said 43 citations have been issued to people who have broken the rules.

Twenty-three violations reported to police between Sept. 7–13 resulted in seven citations, officials said.

The consequence of disobeying the safety measures is a $300 fine and court costs.

“The hope is to achieve compliance from everyone; however, police and other enforcement officers will continue to issue citations for violations of the ordinance,” the borough said in the release.

State College said it launched an educational campaign on the ordinance after it went into effect. This involved creating a one-page flyer on the safety measures, which was distributed on the Penn State campus, to landlords and through social media.

Details can also be found on the State College website.

This new math amazes me, Sir Bedevere.
Explain to me again how 43 may be rounded up to "nearly 50".

State College, PA, is home of the main campus of Pennsylvania State University.

A similar local ordinance has been enacted in the Borough of Kutztown, home of Kutztown University.

“police and other enforcement officers will continue to issue citations for violations of the ordinance,”

Unless, of course, there are riots, in which case all is good.

If police keep this up they won’t have any allies.

This is the way the new math works: take the number 43, add 4 + 3, that gives you 7, well approximately. Now add 7 to 43, and that gives you 50, approximately. Now add 4, and subtract 3 and that gives you 51, approximately. Round down to 50, take the lim u-> 🤪 f(your mind) [otherwise known as the f-it theorem] to believe the answer.

Worth the time...even if you only do the first 15 min

[M-cubed]

yes...after all...

“The hope is to achieve compliance from everyone;

it doesn't have to be just about masks..this is just the 1st step of “compliance”.....
the next step may be..wearing your mask too low...wearing your PJs too high in public...need to see your ass crack as part of the facial..no wait..”Rectal Recognition” program they have instituted....../s

I couldn't agree more, but the chances are those summonsed in State College were probably lefties.

[WKUHilltopper]

When did the PA legislature make this a law?

[Vendome]

Well well well

so these cops summoned the strength to throw away their integrity by giving another man a summons...

When they get to the 8th grade they are going to back on this 3rd grade exercise and understand how stupid the whole thing was...
