Curfew restrictions: Is it legal to leave your house?

bluebadger14 said:Well, Opara suggested looking into the ST area since we've only got 10 days left, but honestly, there's no point in even voting on it anymore...

The National Headquarters shot it down. It was already all over a few news sites last week.

Edward Fisher86 said:Rijeka actually requested to consolidate the old regional ring, but they shut that down. Same thing happened with Maui—they wanted the whole island included, but that was rejected too.

They should just try again...

We really ought to pull together and start making some formal proposals, just to see what can actually be accomplished without all this unnecessary drama.

Hmm, if we go by that logic, some people in my own family should've stopped being called a "couple" or "married" ages ago. They basically "survived" until retirement living and working in totally different cities—sure, they saw each other regularly, had kids, and now they're finally together every day 😁 since the kids have all flown the coop to different parts of the country. (It wasn't perfect, but hey, life happens, right?)

Once a marriage is official—whether it's civil, religious, or both—it's a marriage. Period. Until it gets legally dissolved through the proper channels.

By that logic, every sailor's wife and their husband would be considered "divorced" and the marriage "invalid" after being apart for a few months, plus a million other examples. Or even those "commuter marriages" where couples live apart because of work or whatever.

What actually defines a relationship—whether it’s romantic, sexual, or a marriage—isn't just living under one roof (which can be heaven or hell, depending on who you ask). It’s about the benefits that come with it—like legal rights, for instance. Hint: look at how domestic partnerships eventually get treated like marriages once they prove they've been sharing an address for a certain amount of time.

It feels like there might be some sort of unspoken agreement over at the National Organization for Women.

You only see checkpoints at the county exits—nowhere else within the county itself, I guess.

Smart. That works too.

That’s exactly why we haven't seen a ton of new checkpoints popping up in or around San Diego; it’s like these people have been just waiting for an excuse to finally go wild. Now they're starting to jump out from all over the hills.
They’re practically shutting down entire neighborhoods, it's insane.

Look, I get that it doesn't matter much to some random third party, but for those of us actually putting in the work and trying to build something real? Yeah, it matters.

Turn on your DMs.

I don't get you.

Quick question for everyone on this thread. Has anyone actually tried to bypass a checkpoint without a pass and had the cops turn them away? Looking for real, confirmed cases here—not just "he said, she said" rumors.

I honestly think it's the same deal here—checkpoints are only positioned where you enter or leave San Francisco toward Watering on one side, and then again on the other side heading toward Sedona or Seattle. Honestly, if they aren't going to approve these requests—which seem totally logical and rational to me—then maybe things should just stay this way.

Right at the start—one side (mine) let me go, but they told me the folks on the other side would definitely send me back, while the other side just pointed out where I could pull a U-turn. 😁

What’s weird is how the patrols aren't evenly spread out. I heard that—since I'm not, like, staking out every single checkpoint every day lol—from an employee who travels in from another county. She has a pass, obviously, but she said some days the patrol is only working her specific county.

Like I said, just having a negative test result and full protective gear makes the pass make sense; anything else isn't even worth talking about. You can move around without testing at location A, but you can't stay five minutes at location B. Either you can go nowhere at all, or it's totally random.

From the spot:

"- Hehe, Steve, whose wife are you heading over to see anyway?"
"- Hehe, Andrew, why on earth do you care?"
"- Hehe, Steve, look, I gotta go, someone told me to."
"- Do you seriously, absolutely have to tell me?"
" - Well, you don't have to, why are you being like this? Anyway, I'm out."
Steve leaves
"Andrew: 'Man, Steve was always such a weirdo.'"

So, it looks like the pass effectively dictates who's contagious, and then the contagion dictates the pass,
it’s a bit of a loop—if you don't have it, you're considered a risk.
Instead of actually looking at whether someone is physically capable of self-isolating in their own space.

Question.

Can you drive straight from Washington, D.C. to the Suburban Town? Or is the road blocked?

Is it actually possible to make it up to Mount Rainier?

Let me copy this over from another thread:


Here is what the local community is actually asking for...

- Extending the expiration dates on current permits

- Ensuring senior residents can still rely on their existing permits

- Making the permits valid for the entire county...

- Allowing permits to cover essential agricultural work

- Issuing permits specifically for trips to the grocery store

They’ve been spotted right at the entrance to the Suburban Town by the Walmart in the Suburban Town, out near the exit in the Neighborhood, and they frequently set up in the Suburban Area just past the overpass when you're coming from the Hillside.
He doesn't know where they're stationed if you take the route through the Suburban Area toward the Suburban Town, though I'd bet they're on the bridge.

So, the folks from the man from Varazdin area are the first ones to stage a revolt, refusing to work using those electronic passes...
What on earth are the other counties waiting for?

Sent from my Samsung

Well... here’s my pitch for a compromise:
The pass doesn't even need to be valid for the entire state.
At least for right now.

Just make it valid for the specific jurisdiction of the police station that issued it to you. In my experience, that would basically mean staying within the old municipal boundaries. Usually, that just means moving around within a radius of maybe 15 or 20 square miles.

Fewer passes means fewer unnecessary headaches and absurdities.

One step at a time... let's see if we can get this under control first.
