Curfew restrictions: Is it legal to leave your house?

I've been digging through stuff online, and the info is all over the place—some sources say it's just a slap on the wrist, while others claim you could be looking at a $0.00 fine.

I mean, just check the actual statutes regarding leaving your primary residence to see what the penalty is. 🤷

Jerry Robinson56 said:You’re acting like a monarch... I wasn't clear enough. If you sit down and write out the actual reasons why these movement restrictions bother you, you will realize the issue lies solely with yourself. However, the problem isn't you, or your personal health, but rather the health of others. It is obvious that one cannot lock everything down indefinitely, so they had to devise a way forward on short notice. Though, frankly, they could have handled all of this last year...

Recall how viruses "pass"... there is simply no alternative; this is the most efficient method. As for myself, I move through NYC quite normally. Just yesterday at a gas station, there were four of us within a few feet of each other, including some guys grabbing beers, and it was fine. Every shop or boutique operates normally; you stand in line and there is no fuss.
Call the local precinct and tell them what the problem is, or submit a suggestion to the task force. Feedback is the most vital component here, because these measures are applied generally.

There are no vehicles on the Hamptons roads😁 and once a week from Connecticut.

Trust me, it's definitely not me. I can go wherever I want, whenever I feel like it. I write my own damn permits and basically go wherever the hell I please...
Not to mention, I know how to use my rights, and I’ve been exercising them to the max since they were even established...
Another thing—I'm not an idiot; I'm not actually going out cruising for no reason, though I could. That would just be stupid...

Meanwhile, I see crowds of people all around me acting like they can't move. They stand there like total morons waiting in line outside City Hall—I see them constantly on my way to work...
And honestly, I haven't seen a bigger crowd, more elderly folks packed together, or a better chance to catch something anywhere else besides right in front of City Hall...

So yeah, that's how "smart" this decision really is. 🤦

What exactly do you mean by a "penalty for leaving your residence"? 🤔
Are you suggesting—if you head out without a permit and get intercepted—that there's a legal repercussion?
Well—as a general rule—they usually just send you back home.
These supposed penalties seem to be nothing more than an "urban legend"—and it appears they’ve found some very fertile ground to grow in... someone must have "whispered" something about a $30 $0.00 fine somewhere... and people just swallowed it whole... I mean... they believed that bit about the June 1st deadline mentioned by the CDC too... just wait and see if that doesn't somehow coincidentally fail to materialize by June 1st... especially if these restrictions drag on even longer...🤣🤣🤣

There won't be any penalty, trust me.
They’ll just log your info like a digital paper trail and come knocking on your door later.

Forget this organic stuff... I’m done with all this home-cooked, "natural" nonsense. Give me a McDonald's burger and call it a day.🤣

Wait, they already have?

I was driving out of the East Side toward the bypass today, right when it hits me—I forgot something absolutely vital. Just one of those moments where your brain just stalls.
So now what? I’m sitting there trying to figure out my route back. I take an immediate right through the industrial district, only to realize, "Oh shoot," I've accidentally headed straight toward the suburbs.
It wasn't exactly a pleasant detour. And let's be real, the suburbs aren't going to play nice with the city folks anyway. Total isolationists. Even when Kroger tries to roll out their new Pick Up service, you can't even make use of it.

He just didn't say which year. Maybe they'll actually stumble upon a vaccine by 2025.

That's the reality... all I ever wanted was a smooth shot to the suburbs or the city center.

Does the downtown strip even exist anymore?... the boardwalk?...🤦🤦

Honestly, none of this helps me. They let me out for two days, and being as sharp-witted as I am, I ended up trekking all the way back to my place in these old shoes. 😵Next week, I'll be looking for a pass just so I can go pick up some decent white sneakers.
I'll just tell them I need to head out for a religious procession.🙄

Greetings to you all.

I have a specific question regarding a potential work situation involving travel outside the United States.

To provide some context, I work for a construction firm, and we currently have a job site located in Canada, just across the border from Seattle.
Since my role requires me to visit this site periodically, I’m wondering about the protocol if I cross the border and return... Am I required to enter a 14-day quarantine?
Furthermore, during that quarantine period, would I be permitted to travel specifically to that one job site in Canada—meaning I would only travel on that single route and nothing else—before returning home to complete my isolation?

I appreciate your help with this.

So, they finally launched this absolute joke out in the rural parts of the Midwest... they basically merged all the small towns and counties together so people don't need those ridiculous permits just to drive from one little village to the next... Thank God we're finally done with those heroic "recommendations" from the local authorities...

Well, they're rolling this out in other states too... 🤷—local municipalities are signing these "inter-agency agreements" so you can move between them without needing a permit ☕
(though in my county, the official decree hasn't hit the books yet—it’s just a proposal sitting on someone's desk...☕)

Can we realistically hope that by the end of the month, moving around within the same state will also be permitted without all these permits? 🤔🙄☕

Zaprešić has merged with the surrounding municipalities.
It’s finally becoming something substantial.

Man, these tectonic shifts in America caused by this earthquake are absolutely wild.😢

I can only hope that people will finally open their eyes and grow up, finally seeing these incompetents for exactly what they are.

We seem to have misunderstood one another...

The decision itself is logical; the issue lies in adaptation, as it does in all things. Evaluation is only possible through feedback, and it is through that process that evolution occurs.
People require information that holds actual value, which means we must prevent the uncontrolled spread of contagion.
Only then can we achieve a "controlled" spread while maintaining a semblance of a normal life.
Immunity will be acquired through that method.
The system is inherently inertial, and that is precisely why it is the correct path, given that intelligence remains a constant while populations continue to expand.

I am hopeful that once the 1.5-month mark passes, we will be able to move around freely without needing any permits. It would be quite lovely.

From what I understand, when you re-enter the States from a neighboring country, you get hit with an order to self-isolate for 14 days, which pretty much means you're grounded. As for how things are handled on the other side of the border, you really need to check their local regulations, but if they mandate strict isolation for foreign nationals, you aren't going to be wandering around any construction sites.

Now, if you can get a formal letter from your employer, it might be possible to apply for a special permit for essential work travel. However, you’d likely need clearance from both sides—our domestic authorities and the authorities in the neighboring country—to ensure you can cross the border without being forced into quarantine.

Maybe heading to nearby towns, sure, but expecting to roam the entire county freely? I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
