I hear what you're saying, but when they are asserting they can fine you (though it sounds like they haven't actually), I'd be hesitant to say there's "nothing" they can do. I won't pretend to know the ins and outs of all this BS, but I can't reconcile the assertion of fines within the executive order if they truly weren't within their legal limit to fine. And even if they aren't, who wants to go through the time and money of a legal battle against the state over it. I agree that everyone should be abiding by the order anyway, but I think they still retain some authority to levy fines under the perfect sequence of events.Nope, not at all. If you break quarantine in your home by going to the door, it defeats the purpose. I stayed in a room separated from the house and if I had to prove I was home, I would have entered common living space that i purposed stayed out of and was told I should stay out of.
Yes, the NG met the plane and one would not have been allowed to proceed without handing in the form.
The point is that the implementation of this program relied around people doing the right thing and staying in. Just like those that test positive are required to...but you cant enforce it,
Legally, like I said, this is a Slippery slope which is why my county put in things the way they did, I have lots of family and friends who work in law enforcement, at the county government, and in the legal field. Anyone fined..I have not heard of any...has a good basis to sue.
So, in this case, it will be the honor system again, Now, if you break it, test positive, and are honest about that so they can contact trace accurately, you may be subject to one.
Other than that, nothing they can do. Now, everyone I know who has traveled followed the rules because we felt it was the right thing to do and am glad to see there is an option to thr 14 days with testing...which is what I will do when I go back in December .
In our case in Buffalo, the National Guard is at the exit to the secured area of the airport. Not even meeting the arriving flights. Its a joke really... this small area is a mix of National Guardsmen, friends and family greeting people coming off flights, and people leaving the secured area trying to get through and trying to find a spot to step aside to fill out this form. There was no mention of the form on our flight or even signs at the airport, and the NG provided us with no information or details. If I were really ignorant and didn't follow the news, I would have had no idea what it was for. The NG didn't even hand me a clipboard - I put my hand out for one and he asked if I had just gotten off a flight. Of course I said yes and filled in the form, but it would have been easy for me to say no and slip past. And then according to the executive order, they would have the authority to fine me for not completing the form.
