New Zealand police arrest pair trying to enter Auckland with ‘large amount’ of KFC:

The men were arrested after allegedly trying to flee from police near the Auckland border. When their car was searched, police said they found a large quantity of KFC, as well as the cash and a number of empty ounce bags.

The arrest struck a chord with New Zealanders – especially Aucklanders, who have spent a month in a strict level four lockdown that does not allow restaurants to open or residents to order takeaway food.

[...] After the KFC arrest, a police spokesperson said “officers noticed a suspicious looking vehicle travelling on a gravel road, and upon seeing the police car, the vehicle did a U-turn and sped off trying to evade police.

[...] A breach of the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act can result in imprisonment for up to six months; or a fine of up to $4,000.

The men will appear in court for breaching the health order, and police said further charges were likely.

    So, here we are, still arguing amongst ourselves instead of demanding that available money be redirected towards staffing and equipment, and clear honest education. This is why we suffer any shortages. What ever happened to loosening up the patents so more countries can make their own vax? Two months of bailout money will vax the whole world

    It has been two years, what's up??

    At least here in the U.S. we have all the vax we need. What we're missing is willing arms to put it in.

      Yeah, there are ways to deal with that too. It would be self defense to make space to isolate all the Typhoid Marys and give them a jab.
