Baaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! What do you expect from sheep?
You know, this isn't the first time I've seen you mock the critics by using this precise language. You add the qualifier "under penalty of law" to muddy the discussion. I have seen video of police ordering people back into their homes. Angrily. "Get back inside! Go back in your house!".
That it was enforced with weapons instead of the court system seems to make it okay for you.
