POLICE STATE: NC Coastal Town Issuing $650 Fines (Plus Court Costs) for Playing On Beaches

Via Jessica Hult

 

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH – Social Distancing mandates have led plenty of local muncipalities to take it upon themselves to close access to public spaces, never mind excessive and nonsensical some of the closures are.

A father playing catch with his daughter in an empty park in Colorado was recently arrested and cuffed in front of said six year old daughter because the park was closed to enforce social distancing mandates. Arrested for violating social distancing laws. In an empty park.

In North Carolina, public parks are being regulated for social distancing in lots of popular places, but in Wrightsville Beach, just venturing on to an empty beach will earn you a $650. Plus court costs.

      I had a friend that was down there for the winter but she is back in Emerald Isle now. EI is hard to beat and I prefer it over Ocracoke though I love their village.
