Police Bust Gang Members With Car Trunk "Full Of KFC" Takeout
Breaching 'Strict Lockdown'

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-pacific-58638752

Like it's much bigger Pacific neighbor Australia, New Zealand has
recently seen a return to imposition of the some of the strictest
pandemic lockdown measures on the planet. Australia, for example, has
seen instances of police harassing and arresting people at quiet
public parks, or even searching packages to ensure citizens' "quota"
of allowable alcohol is not being violated while in quarantine.

Seemingly endless absurd stories of brazen government overreach are
coming out of the two countries under lockdown, even with relatively
low infection numbers compared to more hard-hit countries like the
United States. The latest out of New Zealand suggests that even gang
members and criminals are now turning to things like "smuggling" fast
food and taking risks to merely enjoy simple freedoms, according to
CNN:

    Two alleged gang associates found with a car trunk "full of KFC"
takeout were arrested as they tried to enter New Zealand's largest
city on Sunday in breach of strict coronavirus lockdown rules,
according to police.

New Zealand Police actually released this photo of the "crime"

It happened in the large metropolitan city of Auckland, which is
currently under what the government is calling 'Alert Level 4'
lockdown, which is the most far-reaching in the country. It requires
residents to stay at home most of the time, with all 'non essential'
services closed including bars, restaurants, gyms and even food
takeout services. Essentially people can't even order food to go.

After nearly five weeks of Auckland in the strictest lockdown
possible, New Zealand’s prime minister Jacinda Ardern has announced
the restrictions are about to be lifted. Much of the rest of the
country is at Level 2 - which means things like restaurants have
remained open.

Hence the absurdity of "gang members" now focusing their criminal
enterprise on smuggling restaurant food from Level 2 areas into Level
4 zones to make some quick cash, apparently. More details of the
offense are in CNN as follows:

    Police were patrolling back roads near the outskirts of Auckland
when they noticed a suspicious looking vehicle, a New Zealand Police
spokesperson said in a statement Monday.

    Upon seeing the officers, the vehicle did a U-turn and sped off
before eventually pulling over, the statement said. When the car was
searched, police found a large quantity of KFC, more than NZ$100,000
($70,000) in cash, and "empty ounce bags."

And here was the offense that exposed the criminal conspiracy: "Police
photos show at least three buckets of chicken, about 10 cups of
coleslaw, a large package of fries, and four large bags containing
other KFC items."

It's not The Onion, but police were literally photographing a "crime
scene" of buckets of Colonel Sanders' finger lickin' good extra
crispy. This is the dystopian Black Mirror style bizarro world that NZ
"health authorities" have erected and appear to even be boasting about
- police are cracking down on alleged gang members and criminals
driving back roads at night to make "illegal" chicken deliveries to
deprived citizens in lockdown.

The two men, which press reports identified as a 23 and 30-year-old,
face multiple charges under the country's "Covid-19 Public Health
Response Act" including up to six months in jail and a fine equivalent
to almost $3,000.

According to the BBC, police in Auckland recently arrested a man seen
in a social media video leaving the quarantined city to purchase large
quantities of McDonald's meals just outside the lockdown zone. BCC
noted of this latest KFC incident that is part of a trend of people
with cravings increasingly making "risky late night food runs" despite
facing prosecution under Covid laws.
