The Golden State's Department of Alcohol Beverage Control with an annual budget of something like $85 million is the regulatory body for all things alcohol. They make up rules, they enforce them, they do it all. Some things done in the past have been kind of laughable, but not many will laugh in public for fear of retaliation. They have ABC "cops" that can show up at your business at any time and look at anything they want. Warrant? They don't need no stinking warrant.
Now under the pretext of the current pandemic emergency they've decided to do away with due process. I mean, that does make their job more difficult when they have to prove something before punishment is rendered. Now they can go in and if there's something they don't like they can shut you down on the spot. No, it doesn't have to be covid/public health related. Your bar could just be too rowdy for them (a disorderly house in ABC speak).
You can read more from the legal experts.
Sieg Heil, boys.
