I think they have fined two people in the past 60 years for not filling out the main census (and they were very vocal publicly about not filling it out) and no one has been taken to court on all their auxiliary forms, probably because they don't want the legal requirement to respond tested in court.
Me. too...
Only filled out stuff that was Constitutional...
We live in a “minority-majority” district in my county which is designated by the 196? Voting Rights Act so the color of my skin is pretty important around here.
I didn’t identify race of the occupants here but they sent out a census worker anyway so voila, they got my race down and could assume the other two’s race...
Complete crap and Big Brother intrusion...
Fight the MAN and burn it!!!!!!
I ignored the American Community Survey and the Census. I did have someone stop by for the Census... I figured I’d make at least 1 federal employee work for the paycheck!
I like the advice to look up the law if it is stated on the survey form. Make sure what you are answering, especially if considering lying. I remember some rumblings about this in the past in that backyard gardens would be illegal? This does sound rather sinister.
Let us know how it all works out!
I was here when the (dot) Indian census worker showed up. Pleasant conversation where I gave him no more info that I filled out.
He did want to know about the house next door. It seems they didn't respond.
Told him that was 'cuz she died and he got moved to a facility where he could get the care he needed.
That was it. No big deal.
I just got one of those. Pitched it. Now they're wasting our tax dollars by sending me little postcard reminders every other day, which are also going in the circular file. If somebody shows up at my house, I'm going to tell them they have no Constitutional authority to demand that information, to have a nice day, and to get off my property.
