This is an essential worker being arrated for being out past the #nycurfew. He knows he is allow to be out and so do the NYPD, they don't care.
I dont want to put peoples lives at risk, nor their livelihoods. Delivery workers do you have advice?

It is just beyond me that reasonable people could think this makes sense. The man is clearly delivering food, asks the officers to show proof he is a delivery worker on the app, as he was instructed too and they just arrest him anyway.
More than that, the NYPD put him in the back of a cop car with 2 other people. There ia a global pandemic. NY was the epicenter just weeks ago. Unnecessarily arresting someone potentially exposing them to a deadly disease is completly unconscionable.
This delivery guy thought he’s an essential worker, police seemed to disagree. The rules issued before the curfew very unclear but according to the state, restaurants, bar & food industry workers are classified as essential. #nycurfew #NYCPolice
UPDATE: This guy I filmed Thursday being arrested at 109&CPW soon after 8pm was taken to jail but was let go later that night.

However, he was doing his job and as @NYCMayor said later on Thursday "Food delivery is essential work and is EXEMPTED from the curfew."

While he was let go later, it doesn't change the fact that the police stopped him and took him in. He was the only Black person in the van that took the people from that spot, 109W, to the precinct.
