OK, so when there is a dangerous suspect running around your neighborhood and the Media/Police tell you to stay indoors, do you comply ?
For how long should you comply ?
Do you allow the police into your home to conduct a search ?
Do you look to the Police/Gov’t for permission to go to work ?
Do you wait for the “all clear” so you can buy food ?
All I wanted to suggest was how easy it would be for the “state” to impose martial law without actually declaring it.
The triggers may or may not be legitimate, however the reaction by an established police force and media have been set. They, the police/gov’t/media are on auto pilot.
Depends on the situation. If grenades and “cocktails” are being tossed, then inside would be good.
“For how long should you comply ?”
When the “circus” is over.
“Do you allow the police into your home to conduct a search ?”
Only if they are allowed (Of course a signed warrant would be needed if no PC is there). No knock warrants are a no-no though.
“Do you look to the Police/Gov’t for permission to go to work ?”
Nope.
“Do you wait for the “all clear” so you can buy food ?”
Unless a Republic form of government (3 Branches functioning) and proper order is established (Been in a lot of natural disasters, sometimes curfews are needed to protect property and forget about going out in 70+ winds with sideways rain hitting you in the face) people should be free to travel (Public transportation could be stopped, not a right).
