A woman in Pennsylvania became the possibly first person in the state to be fined for violating the state’s stay-at-home order that is intended to curb the spread of the CCP virus, prompting questions about whether it’s a legitimate reason.

Anita Shaffer, 19, was pulled over by Pennsylvania State Police troopers at around 7 p.m. on March 29 in Red Lion, located near Harrisburg. She was issued a summary violation for violating Pennsylvania’s Disease Control and Prevention Act of 1955, according to state police.
