[QUOTE="bacon, post: 1316712, member: 3632"] The law as I see it is only being enforced on people who they think care about laws. Or people that appear to have things to lose from being ticketed or arrested. One of the things I noticed is that there are very few stories of homeless being arrestied or ticketed for breaking quarantine laws. As such, if I was in an environment which had strict stay at home orders, I would appear to look homeless and just go about my day walking the streets or parks. It wouldn't even be that hard to appear homeless, assuming you didn't shave for a few days or let your beard be unkempt. Hair would be easy as you could not shampoo it and let it look messy or just wear a old, dirty looking hat. Then just wear over-sized and or ripped clothes that are unfashionable along with dirty looking shoes. If the police stopped me I would only give them my ID if they asked for it, then reply "I don't want to talk about it" if they asked further personal questions. It would be a possibility of course that you may get a ticket or be arrested but I suspect it would be much less likely than them doing that to a normal looking citizen. Most likely, they will not want to get close to a homeless person because someone who appears to be living on the street would be assumed to be unclean and a carrier of coronavirus. Also, the local police departments would not view ticketing or arresting homeless as a good method for control of citizens since putting all their man hours and attention to them would prevent them from going after the majority of normal citizens. This whole episode is about control over the majority and taking actions against the homeless does nothing to work towards that aim. [/QUOTE]
