NEVER
Edisto beach has something similar.
They blocked our State Park Beach ,so people couldn't go.
I told the officer , All I wanted to do was look for sharks teeth.
Edisto is a small place so they know of me, He said maam, Don't tell me I'm not looking. hahaha
I was let pass the blockade.
Here is the kicker
The police were allowing people from other states to use the state park just no locals
They didn't want to lose the money

Not to take away from the seriousness that you shared (we won’t forget) but this is funny.

yes, never
