SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said his deputies will not be enforcing compliance with the month-long nighttime curfew Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Thursday amid rising coronavirus cases.

The limited Stay at Home Order will mean that non-essential work and gatherings will be prohibited from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. in counties under the most-restrictive “purple tier” status. The curfew goes into effect as of 10 p.m. on Saturday.

Sheriff Jones’ comments come ahead of Thanksgiving week. Public health leaders have been pleading for people to avoid large family gatherings, noting that these kinds of activities could provide an easy vector for coronavirus to spread exponentially and further strain hospitals.

Brilliant, just brilliant.

1. It may be time to do away with elected sheriffs?

All this refusing to do do things plays into power not given.

5. Not a bad idea

Since a lot of these sheriff's like to claim they have power under "English Common Law", to do as they please and to ignore not only local governments but state governments as well!

What they seem to forget is that sheriff's were appointed by the government, not elected by the people...that was done to insure the sheriff knew that his loyalty was to the government!

6. That is a terrible idea if you live in a red state

I do not want DeSantis appointing my sheriff.

2. Gawd forgive the officers start getting COVID-19. . ..

3. Too many cops won't comply nationwide

Any national "mandate" (read 'suggestion') is doomed.

4. here in wash state none of the sheriffs will enforce anything......

...so I agree..NO MORE elected Sheriffs!

7. There should be enormous fines.

8. Partial or Zero fund them

You get paid to do your full job.
Selective enforcement, means selective funding

9. Fine as long as they realize they are personally accepting liability should anyone eventually go...

after them for damages.

I don't see the State backing them up on their negligence.

Most of these restrictions and regulations are litigation management at their core.

10. How about if the sheriff doesn't do his job, his pay gets cut off?
