Anyone on the exact rights one has when being questioned for the Census?

It’s required for the constitution but I believe only to establish the exact count of the people at a residence.

Do you have to give them access to your property?

Do you have to answer all their questions?

Can you throw them off your property?

What is their ability to retaliate?

Anyone?

They are required to tell you on each form or introductory letter whether your response is mandatory or voluntary.

I plan on answering the door, feeling surly and polishing my Colt.

Hey, it was dirty.

No you do not have to give access to your property. They are not officers of the law, have no police powers, no search or warrant powers.

You don’t have to answer all the questions. Just how many people live there. You can also answer the other questions “My answer is I am not required under the Constitution to give you that information.” That way you have provided an answer, albeit one they don’t want to hear. Too forkin’ bad.

You can, after aswering how many people live there, say you will not answer any other questions, and to leave the premises immediately, and that you will be calling the police to report a trespasser who refuses to leave if they do not leave immediately.

They have no way to retaliate legally.
