Good luck explaining to a judge why giving out masks and water bottles is against the law. You can’t even go after people who sell guns designed to kill people, and masks and water bottles are far less lethal in all circumstances.
But what is going to happen to them for arresting someone for that?
Nothing. These fascists can de facto criminalise anything they feel like with impunity, and people forget how close they were to criminalising face masks before COVID hit anyway - somehow, I don’t think “ze law” is going to help anyone.
the process is the punishment
Yeah, it’s not like they were voting in Georgia or anything…
