The driving ban issued by the Massachusetts governor is an infringement on our civil liberties. Additionally, they had the audacity to impose a $500.00 fine for violators of this unconstitutional ban. I feel like I am living under a dictator that is imposing a curfew with extreme punishments for anyone who is out for legitimate reasons. The people who will receive the fines are ones who have a pressing issue that must be attended to. It is okay to suggest a voluntary ban with the possibility of a small fine, for example, if the driver is negligent or reckless. However, it is outrageous to impose a $500.00 fine on a person who may just need to run to a gas station or a store for necessary supplies.
I insist that any and all fines imposed be revoked or challenged immediately.
