Yeah. …
Another anti-masker got what she asked for. Read story here. Reminder: Even absent a government mandate, private businesses can make their own rules, and ask you to leave if you don’t comply with them. If you refuse, you’re trespassing, and the cops will order you to leave. If you still won’t, you’ve refused to comply with a lawful order, and they will arrest you. If you resist arrest, you’ve got another criminal charge — resisting arrest — on top of the trespassing and disobeying a lawful order charges. Outside, while being placed in the patrol car, she yelled “Look what they do to you!” No ****, Sherlock.
Update (3/17/21): A few days later, police responded to an Office Depot where the same woman refused to wear a mask or leave. This isn’t about getting her money out of a bank; it’s about “making a statement” by being selfish and putting others at risk. She has no right to do that. She’s merely an antisocial jerk.
The woman has a right to access her account … just what would the bank do if every customer had sided with her and taken their masks off … is there a chilling effect on peoples behavior because they want to get to their money. [This comment has been edited.]
Of course she has a right to access her money, and she wasn’t denied that right. She can access her money by complying with the bank’s mask rule. It’s not about wanting to get her money; it’s about not following rules. If other customers took their masks off, they’d be kicked out too. If she pulled this stunt on a plane, she’d get the exit, ticket notwithstanding.
Actually, technically, it’s not her money. Once you deposit money in a bank, it’s the bank’s money, and they can lend it to someone else. What you get in return is a contractual promise to honor your checks, pay your bills, let you make withdrawals, etc., with money someone else deposited that also now belongs to the bank.
