Um, no. You’re SEVERELY wrong about the punishment. https://www.broward.org/CoronaVirus/Documents/EmergencyOrder20-22.pdf states that “Residents who fail to ensure compliance withall applicable Broward County Emergency Orders by such persons shall be subject to thepenalties set forth in Section 8-56 of the Broward County Code of Ordinances” which you can look up here https://library.municode.com/fl/broward_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIICOOR_CH8CIDEEM_ARTIVPRPRGODUEM_S8-56SUEMPO which states the fine as “Violations. (1)Violations of any order promulgated pursuant to this section shall be prosecuted in the same manner as misdemeanors are prosecuted pursuant to § 125.69, F.S., punishable by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed sixty (60) days, a Five Hundred Dollar ($500.00) fine, or both.” So, based off the wording of the order and the wording of the punishment, they can charge “All persons who reside” up to $500 and send them to jail.
