Who is under “arrest”?
Cpl. Nicholas Clayton says officers are making every effort to inform and educate people on new state orders before resorting to arrest.
“We’ve had eight arrests of individuals who still, after engaging them and informing them and educating them about what the "stay at home" order means, they still chose not to adhere to that,” said Clayton.
“Our officers are not going out of their way to pull people over and question their whereabouts or where they’re going,” Clayton said. “That’s not our posturing -- it’s absolutely not to throw everyone in jail who’s outside their home.”
@eladar saidIf they are breaking the rules why should they not be arrested.
Yet people who have not been diagnosed with covid19 are being arrested just for meeting with other people.
Nice authoritarian state. We might as well be China.
Moving to China? Really? You think you'd be better off?

@very-rusty saidFind the part of the Constitution that states the government can take away the Constitutional right of freedom of assembly.
I believe when a State of emergency is called the constitution goes out the window for that time period.

@eladar saidI think you're on a different ship than everyone else is, there is a Pandemic. Think about lives instead of freedom of assembly. You'd be doing yourself a favour. If you're dead what good is your rights then?

I looked this up for you!
What does asymptomatic mean?
In medicine, a disease is considered asymptomatic if a patient is a carrier for a disease or infection but experiences no symptoms. A condition might be asymptomatic if it fails to show the noticeable symptoms with which it is usually associated. Asymptomatic infections are also called subclinical infections.

According to the Supreme Court
Wilson v. New
Although emergency may not create power (Ex Parte Milligan, 4 Wall. 2), it may afford reason for exerting a power already enjoyed
The government has no power to keep healthy people from associating with each other. The government does not have the right to shut down businesses for no other reason than you might get sick from a virus. It is a virus that has a small chance of killing you if you are elderly and almost no chance of killing you if you are young.
@eladar saidHow do you know you are healthy? You may show no symptoms and spread the virus to others.

Do you not get that?!
