I am sure in their own minds they are hero's for taking action, even though it is almost always a self serving political move to sell oneself to the public.
"Look everyone, I did something, I'm a great leader, vote for me!!!"
These sort of actions show the trendy/faddish, media driven, activist and political whoring nature of some of these officials. These are not the type of people you want as judges that should be rational, consistent and constitutionally based. May you be conservative or liberal, in all reality you should be seeking folks that are more professional/principled, measured, strategic (big picture) in their actions when they fill such positions.
Once this is over, and it will be sooner than most think, because like everything this is a typical American over hyped sensationalist politicized bullshit story, those officials that took such actions to rob citizens of their basic constitutional rights to promote themselves should be removed from office. If we want to turn this corona virus scare into something that has any value, use it as a litmus test for politicians and government officials.
Good. Keyboard warrior tough guys will have to put up or shut up.
Sue on 4th amendment and habeus corpus grounds.
No due process, illegal search and seizure, the list goes on and on.
HOW CAN THEY DO THIS IN AMERICA?
This isn’t particularly egregious.
Why does he want to be a Typhoid Mary?
Well, the “after this is over” gets farther and farther away...
They would definitely win a civil rights case.
About ten years from now.
Could charges be brought against them as well? Along with lawsuits?
This violates Equal Protection Clause, False Imprisonment and probably 50 other existing laws.
I hope KT has a huge budget surplus because they have no chance of winning a lawsuit challenge.
Just out of curiosity, what does Kentucky require for those folks testing positive for AIDS. Do they require them to tell folks with whom they have liberal relations about their disease?
In this case I support this
Even more. I originally saw this on MSNBC. China sent the virus here to kill us and then sent drones to take away our civil liberties.
Coming to a flubro near you.
LOL, I don’t wish this on FLubros.
But anyone that knows they are exposed, should self quarantine out of consideration for other people. When they’ve been ordered to self quarantine, and don’t, Then the courts are right to take more aggressive actions including order monitoring.
Monitoring is better than throwing them in jail at the first violation.
This is a once in a century situation. It’s not the Socialist Apocalypse that every stir crazy person thinks it is. It’s a pandemic. A dangerous virus that we are still learning about.
They ought to put one of those chip thingies in the RT hand or forehead. I heard it makes everything easier (for the AntiChrist)
Ehhhh - I don’t have a problem with this one.
If you tested positive you need to quarantine for 14 days. This is far different than the blanket house arrests where everyone is presumed “guilty”.
Getting “collared” is a bit harsh (and a bit worthless as the government won’t find out you’ve left until after you’ve been gone for several hours) but if you’re gonna be an idiot and claim you’re still going out...

Accused fentanyl dealer who tested positive for coronavirus living at senior home
An accused fentanyl dealer who was released from jail last week despite testing positive for the coronavirus has reportedly been staying with his mother in a senior-living home in Salem and the Essex County district attorney intends to petition the courts to have him locked back up.
Eric Jalbert, 31, was being held in jail while awaiting arraignment on fentanyl trafficking charges. Judge Kathleen McCarthy-Neyman on Tuesday ordered Jalbert — who tested positive for the coronavirus on April 4 — to be released from jail to await trial at home, citing concerns with the coronavirus which spreads particularly fast in jails and other congregate living facilities.
Ankle monitors are so 20th century. Why bother? You’re carrying a monitor with you most of the time. And paying handsomely for the privilege.
fascists need to be rooted out of “our” government, whether they’re governors or judges or whatever.they’re extremely dangerous to us all... as can be plainly seen..
Apologize, this is for infected quarantined patients. At one time would have been sequestered in TB sanitarium.
