Beverly Hills Imposes Emergency Order Limiting Gatherings 'To Preserve The Peace And Tranquility Of Residential Areas'
BEVERLY HILLS (CBSLA) -- The city of Beverly Hills imposed an emergency order Saturday night to ban public gatherings of more than 10 people in residential areas between the hours of 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.
The order will remain in place until further notice to "preserve the peace and tranquility of residential areas," according to the statement.
A local emergency was issued by Beverly Hills City Manager George Chavez on May 30 following widespread protests and some instances of looting and violence after the death of George Floyd.
Chavez states in the order that there was also the use of "bullhorns and amplified music" which "disrupted the tranquility" of residential communities during normal sleeping hours.
People who are found disobeying the order are subject to arrest.
Silent gatherings, including candlelight vigils and other private gatherings, are exempt from the order.
