  1. They always feel bad when they are caught. The state of HI should never have reduced the fine. Bottom line: she got away with it. It’s too bad she can’t be banned from the Islands.

    1. I totally agree. It was all publicity for her blog etc. Ban her, keep fines high, track people. Otherwise what good does it do to “require” a quarantine.

  2. She should have had to serve the original sentence. Had I, or anyone else broken the law we would have gotten a much stiffer sentence. Just because she has lots of followers does not give her the right for a reduced sentence.

  3. No, justice was not served!! With the fines being drastically reduced, only leads to people taking the chance to come to Hawaii and break quarantine. The fines need to be stiff enough for people to NOT try and take a chance. This was someone who brazenly disregarded the rules and the Hawaiian residents. Her apology was meaningless. It is a slap in the face to those who followed the rules.

  4. I came to Hawaii in May and the quarantine rules were very much set in stone. Never, was there an understanding that with a negative COVID test you could be free to move around. I do not believe she was ever told that. Although it is hopeful for September, even that has not yet happened. She did not deserve special treatment and a significantly reduced fine. Did my time and will do it again if I have to!

  5. One must ask ones self. If this was a man from the mainland would he be released or still in jail. I do believe the quarantine message was well known to all. She played the innocent girl card and got out.

  6. If she could prove that she was advised by law enforcement that she could stop her quarantine after her negative COVID test, her fine should have been zero. I don’t think she would be flaunting her presence, and posting it, for that matter, all over Hawaii if she knew she was breaking the law. Fine should be zero and no probation.

    1. 1. She can’t prove it because it didn’t happen.
      2. Many others have violated the rules and posted their violations on line multiple times. What reason is there to believe that she is so different?

  7. Frankly Oahu has increase of Covid cases. Now Maui does, too. We the residents are fed up with these folks who come here & disregard the masks—as in the Mika video. What about respect for our health & welfare. Mahalo for sharing the mishap in Honolulu!!

  8. I’m of the opinion that the entire world has been educated and know the rules. Follow them or don’t, but please know that there are consequences and they need to be fully enforced. Wear a mask, socially distance and stay home. If travel is essential, understand what quarantine means and do it. Violate the rules and pay the price. Countries like New Zealand enforce the rules and look, not many cases at all, their curve has flattened, they have plenty of room in their medical facilities and the citizens enjoy a greater peace of mind.
    I wish that we would do this on the Mainland too. It sure feels like this will never end, and that in large part is due to the careless people who continue spreading the disease.
