Party-goers in Los Angeles have been warned: the next bash could result in your host having his water and electricity cut off.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said the city would shut down utility service for residents who committed flagrant violations of health orders and hosted large parties that can fuel the spread of the coronavirus.
If the LAPD responds to repeated complaints and verifies that there have been violations at a home, the city will within 48 hours have the DWP shut off service at that home. Garcetti also indicated that county health inspectors and other city representatives would be on the lookout for violations.
Garcetti brushed aside legal concerns about the shutoffs:
“You’re breaking the law. Just as we can shut down bars breaking alcohol laws,” he said, “in places that are in criminal violations, we can shut them down.”
He said that city legal experts had vetted the measure and found it to be on firm legal ground.
It’s not the first time Garcetti has threatened to shut off utilities to enforce health orders. In April, the Mayor said he would shut down power and water for “non-essential” businesses that refused to close down despite a stay-at-home order.
Unofficial word in LAPD circles is that law enforcement is reluctant to carry out the Mayor’s most recent threat against individual homeowners. Apparently, “cops will absolutely cite a homeowner for throwing an out-of-control party, but cutting someone’s power is not a burden they want to bear.”

It’s time to recall this moron of a Mayor.
You should not be insulting morons by elevating him that high
Does he have a tiny mustache and and an arm band on his left arm ? Sounds like Hitler has been reincarnated. Didn’t Tim Allen say living in L.A. was like living in Berlin in the 1930’s. On my side of the country, we have the reincarnation of Mussolini, as Governor here in N.Y.. Can’t seem to get rid of these idiots. Do we need another World War to get rid of them again ?
I don’t understand the complaints. They voted Democratic, they got Democratic. What’s the problem?
just what they deserve
These public servants don’t know their place.
Arrest the bum! He should not have this ability. LA will be prime for lawsuits.
This is fascism out and out. Power corrupts and the little demorat monsters are out of control!! It is high time to get them out of office before they finish off the USA.
I understand he is Pelosi’s nephew, why should you be surprised. The entire family hates citizens and loves illegals. They are power hungry beyond belief.
Will he imprison the BLM and ANTIFA marchers? No . Because they are his Nazi Brown Shirts.
