@mott-the-hoople saidThe first two are the same person who was arrested for trespassing for refusing to leave a bank when asked to, not for not wearing a mask. The last two cases are similar. If you're asked to wear a mask or leave the premises and you refuse to do either then you're not being arrested for not wearing a mask but for trespassing. From your last cited article:

"Still, people can’t be arrested for not wearing the mask, said Broward County Mayor Steve Geller. But a business owner can request people leave for not following the rules, especially because a business can still be fined for not enforcing the mask mandate. The end result for noncompliance could be an arrest for trespassing, he said."

The third case was a man arrested for not showing police ID and having a previous trespassing incident. The store had eventually allowed him to shop mask free.

The answer is no they wouldnt have. It is even more troublesome that charges were made up because not wearing a mask is not illegal. The liberal democrat police state in action.
I imagine some people will be paying out for lawsuits.

the woman was arrested on trespassing charges -- “not on not wearing a mask.”
@mott-the-hoople saidNone of them would have been arrested if they have left the premises when asked.

The cases were from Texas, Idaho and Florida. Not exactly Democratic bastions.

You ducked my question… would they have been arrested if they had a mask on?
@mott-the-hoople saidYou asserted they were arrested for not wearing a mask, not that they were asked to leave the premises for not wearing one.

@no1marauder saidanswer my questions

@mott-the-hoople saidSo if a black man trespasses on someone's property and is asked to leave because he's a n*, he refuses, and the police arrest him...
why were they asked to leave the promises?

Did he go to jail simply for being black?
@sh76 saidMask wearing has led to drugs overdosing?
Well-put article in the NY Times about how "follow the science" doesn't really mean much in day-to-day life.Put down that burger
The C.D.C. describes medium-rare hamburgers as “undercooked” and dangerous. The agency also directs Americans to avoid raw cookie dough and not to eat more than a teaspoon or so of salt every day. And the C.D.C. tells sexually active wome ...[text shortened]... decisions that balance competing values or stakeholder interests.”

Really?
@shavixmir saidI'm not sure if I want to confine it to masking, but COVID restrictions in general lead to overdosing, sure.

@mott-the-hoople saidNo, he's not, but apparently, you are.
“Wearing masks are a choice. Being gay is not. “

Overdoses jumped during the pandemic, but where is the evidence that "COVID restrictions in general lead to overdosing"? A pandemic has effects on human behavior irrespective of measures taken to mitigate it; pretending that COVID itself had no bearing on these subsidiary matters and that everything would have been absolutely normal but/for "COVID restrictions" is intellectually dishonest.
