Matthew Loewen was fined after someone snitched on him for having a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebelnews.com\/cops_crash_teens_18th_birthday_issue_1300_fine_over_10_person_gathering\">socially distant 18th birthday<\/a> get-together in his dad\u2019s trucking shop. And today, you\u2019ll meet Mary-Ann Roy and her husband, George, whose trip to the grocery store ended in handcuffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mary-Ann and George are a soft spoken married couple who are both medically exempt from wearing masks. They went together in the evening \u2014 to avoid the crowds \u2014 to their local Superstore, to fill a prescription for the very condition that makes Mary-Ann mask exempt. In the end, the cops were called and they were both detained and threatened with criminal charges, before being released with $1,300 coronavirus tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Roys\u2019 story and their treatment by the police are infuriating. That\u2019s why&nbsp;<em>Rebel News<\/em>&nbsp;is helping Mary-Ann and George fight their fines. They are pleading not guilty and&nbsp;<em>Rebel News<\/em>&nbsp;is crowdfunding a criminal lawyer to help them.
