The U.S. surgeon general was cited for being in a closed Oahu park in August while in the islands helping with surge testing amid a spike in coronavirus cases, according to a criminal complaint filed in court.

A Honolulu police officer cited Jerome Adams after seeing him with two men “looking at the view taking pictures” at Kualoa Regional Park, the citation said. The park in a rural area offers a picturesque view of Mokolii island, known as Chinaman’s Hat for its cone shape.

Adams told the officer he was visiting Hawaii to work with the governor for COVID-19 and didn’t know parks were closed.

yes. It is pretty difficult to imagine that a government would impose such a stupid rule. No wonder he did not know/ask.

That park is HUGE. It's not like anyone would be crowded there.

and what the deal with all the old pipes there? Kind of looks like an old waste water processing location.

OK, Law and Order unless you don’t agree with the law.

I was planning on going there once the travel quarantine was lifted.

Do you agree with all posted speed limits?

Have some perspective.

Speaking of laws... Constitution and the commerce clause...

How can a State legally restrict people from other States?

Or does Hawaii belong to Japan? - I knew those history books lie!
