BROOKLYN (VINnews) — In a video that quickly went viral on Monday, health inspectors were caught attempting to write a summons for a Yeshiva in Flatbush, without verifying first whether or not the building was empty.

According to reports, the executive director of Yeshiva Shaarei Torah on Coney Island Ave in Flatbush noticed an inspector arrive in front of the building Monday morning, and proceeded to write a summons for being “open in a red zone.”

Confused by the summons when the school was not in session and no students were present, the executive director confronted the inspector and invited her inside to see for herself.

The video shows the inspector being taken through the school, to search for students as she pleases. When she sees there are clearly no students present, she says “yeah, I mean, it’s confusing.”

“It doesn’t sound confusing to me, it sounds like you’re just trying to give summonses,” replied the executive director.

The inspector did nothing but fiddle with her phone, seeming visibly uncomfortable, knowing this was all recorded.

When she was further pressed on why she was giving a summons, she admitted that she was given a list of schools that are supposedly open, which she was instructed to revisit. But when presented with the obvious truth that the school was closed, she had no answer.

Watch the full incident below.

Being closed wont help anyways so for kids sake we must stay open.

These are typical liberal progressive city workers dumb clueless and stupid as a light poll.

Cuomo is talking advantage of these dumb people.

This is short-sighted and counterproductive. Obviously, any school that got a summons can now credibly argue that it was closed, and the inspectors worked off a list without checking that a school was open. With this video as proof, these schools have a good argument, unless an inspector actually went inside and got pictures of children in the school. That is what an inspector should do, if their goal was actually safety and health, rather than punishing a whole community for the alleged non-compliance of a few outliers.

Meanwhile the egotistical manic Cuomo is showing off that hey lockdowns work. His numbers are way down. What a fool and ego maniac. Does the governor chap that

  1. Noone is BP is, listening. Kids are now being schooled in unsanitary non ventilated basements where covid can spread even more. yet its not. Shuls are wide open.
  2. Lakewood had no lock down and brought it to zero.

How foolish and egotsiscial does he think he is? Still thinks he is bringing it down? Dangerous man. Impeach Cuomo for abuse of power.

I witnessed them write sumonses to 3 schools that they never entered and didn’t witness anybody go in. They were just ordered by King Cuomo to write a summons for every Jewish establishment

The shul I daven in received a ticket on Shmini Asers the first day these the governor went to war against the jewish community. First of all he couldn’t even get next to the shul because of the Sukka in front. Second there was no activity in the shul at the time he wrote the ticket. So now we have proof that these thugs have lists of shuls and yeshivos to give tickets to for no reason.

Let’s hope this Video will force the city to nullify all the summonses they wrote, kids are having a real effect from all this, we need to hope and pray it won’t have a long lasting emotional effect on them.

Warren Wilhelm’s approach here is simple. Guilty until proven innocent. Summons everyone and see what sticks. Shame!

Hmm. I wonder if state and local inspectors dreaming up and swearing to under oath invented offenses constitute federal civil rights violations under color of law? Let the federal government prosecute several of these inspectors, and that will put a quick end to this overreach: no other inspector earning $50k per year would imagine a summons if they realize that they are facing federal time.

Barr and Trump, wanna stick to Cuomo and de Blasio? Just 1 federal arrest and all this will cease.

Evil always rides in on the modes of goodness. It has never been about “safety” or “saving us from ourselves”. It’s always been proven to be about control…control to put their jackboots on our necks.

Personally, I wouldn’t post this video viral, since they will now start taking pictures of the kids they DO see in the schools. Leave this to present to the judges when all the fines they issued are due in court…. Hopefully this will nullify all the summonses!!
