- A man claimed coronavirus safety sanctions are not law and cannot be enforced
- He filmed a broad conversation with police in a McDonald's restaurant in Victoria

A McDonald's customer has filmed himself clashing with police after being told he couldn't sit down in the dining room of a Melbourne fast food store.
Police were called to the venue after reports of a potential COVID-19 breach after the man sitting in the closed seating area of the store refused to leave.
A man has claimed to police (pictured) that coronavirus safety sanctions are not law and cannot be enforced
The man claims he was verbally abused by a McDonald's manager for insisting that coronavirus restrictive measures have not been passed through government and cannot be enforced as law.
'So you're going to attempt to enforce something you haven't even personally seen written out and you're going to enforce it as though its law?' the man asks police in the video.
'I believe in respecting people in their fear, but I don't believe that we should be controlled based on people's fear which always comes from insufficient correct evidence.
'Just because I do my research correctly and have the right information to know what's going on out there, does not mean that when I come into a shop an employee who hasn't bothered to do the research has the right to boss me around.'
The man acknowledges he was sitting in a closed section of the restaurant, before relating COVID-19 government sanctions to Nazi Germany.
'I'm willing to take a stand because if people don't understand the history then they wont understand why Nazi Germany got away with what it did,' he says.

'If we don't stand up now and do things in a lawful manner in order to put a stop to it, we will walk into the same environment.
'I'm not allowed to sit in a store without having police sent to me, that's pretty Nazi like isn't it?'
He claims law enforcement have been deceived into breaking laws themselves through coronavirus restrictions.
'If we have people who are not informed correctly in uniforms running around and enforcing something they have been deceived into enforcing but are actually being the lawbreakers themselves, that is not a healthy and correct system to be living under,' he says.

'Police should be in a place where they only are to enforce the law that they are confident that they understand.'
The man left the store without giving his details or receiving a fine.
All government sanctions in relation to coronavirus are enforced for public safety in an effort to stem the spread of the disease.
A Victoria police spokesman told Daily Mail Australia while restrictive measures are not actual law, strange times call for drastic measures.
'When the chief health officer creates restrictions, it is police job to enforce them,' they said.
Victoria recorded 317 new cases of coronavirus on Thursday - its worst ever daily figure - as the state's outbreak continues to get worse.
