2a: a government in which absolute power is vested in a single rulerespecially : one characteristic of an ancient Greek city-state
b: the office, authority, and administration of a tyrant
3: a rigorous condition imposed by some outside agency or force living under the tyranny of the clock— Dixon Wecter

So what if 16 people get in a room rated at 500 capacity, sit separately, and the government disperses and arrests them for it?
What if a person of their own free will goes to another and asks for a haircut, and the government puts the hair cutter in prison for it?
What if a person goes windsurfing on the ocean with no one within hundreds of yards, and the government arrests him for it?
What if a couple of dozen families sit in their cars in a private parking lot, and the government arrests them for it?
What if a man stands on a street corner with a sign and the government arrests him for it?
Etc etc
