Report to the concentration camp, er, I mean the Quarantine Facility, immediately upon arrival............
You might be stopped on interstates but you’d surely have no issue if you cross the border on a back road.
It is time for you to follow the lead of half your family. You can’t even count on what is happening today to be the same tomorrow in NY. Find another way to spend your vacation time.
Let’s put it this way, ratting people out is a statewide pasttime.
Consider the fine, then ask yourself if you’re willing and able to pony up if somebody squeals.
How about NJ?
We have a friend, who needs to go back in mid August?
You need a good story...that you live in some Long Island neighborhood. Park your vehicle where the plates aren’t readily available. And act New Yorkish whenever possible.
bring donuts for the cops you’ll be fine
Well if you are a Cuomo no problem, everyone else then yea.
Enjoy, Saranac Lake is Beautiful this time of year.
The police refuse to touch the situation.
The local Karens are a source of info, too.
Tell them you are on your way to a peaceful protest. The KungFlu does not spread at a protest.
I live in New York. NY Dept of Health has set up “tables” at airport and bus station to get info and tell you to quarantine and perhaps take your name. I don’t know for sure, but I haven’t flown.
I drive across the border several times to PA and NJ and there is no enforcement.
NY State and NY City are facing massive budget holes. NY State Sheriffs are not going to spend their time doing anything. Cuomo has zero resources to enforce his dictates. Its all political and media posturing.
what will local cops do if they see an out-of-state plate? Especially in a rural place like Franklin/Essex counties? probably very little. Just tell them you are quarantining at home.
Yes. Black flies.
Black Flies Matter.
You are probably safe unless some busybody tattles on you, though if you are running out of state plates you might get some scrutiny, I don't know if law enforcement is really paying attention. Nobody really seems to know or care much about it when I was there...
They may be looking for license plates, might consider driving a rental with a plate from that state?
They’re not doing $hit except at airports and then just lie. Tell them you are passing through if anyome asks. I’m in NJ and there are cars everywhere here from “quarrantined” states and haven’t seen anyome stopped anywhere. You will be fine. Cops are actually doing fewer road stopsmbecause of COVID.
Here's the scoop, as best I can figure it out. The police will not pull you over just because you have an out-of-state plate on your car. You need to commit a traffic violation. If your destination is in the state, you might have trouble registering at a hotel if you're from a state on the list. You should check with your hotel in advance. If you're just passing through New York to another state, they won't interfere with you.
The travel ban order says that if you're entering New York from a state that's on the bad list, you need to fill out an on-line form first. The form requires you to give the state a contact number where they can call or text you to check up on you! When you get to your in-state destination, you're supposed to quarantine. If you will be in the state for more than two weeks, you will have to quarantine for the first 14 days. If you're going to be in New York for less than two weeks, you will need to quarantine the whole time you're in the state.
The most effective enforcement is at the airports, where they'll require you to fill out the travel ban form. They have no way to make you fill out the form if you're driving. However, if you're questioned, you might be asked to show a screen shot of your form.
My plan is to go to my event in New York. Your circumstances may differ, but I'll be driving from Virginia to a destination in the Syracuse area. I'll gas up one last time in Pennsylvania, then keep going until I'm at the hotel. The room is registered in the name of a New York resident who will be staying with me, so it isn't a phony registration. I'll park my car, with its Virginia plate, and stay away from it until I'm ready to drive home. A friend with New York plates will drive me around while I'm there. I'll probably fill out the on-line form before I leave Virginia. I'll practice social distancing, wear a mask and do all the other responsible things while I'm in New York.
So, I won't be in strict compliance with Emperor Cuomo's order. I'll need to stay away from my car because of snitches, although the upstaters are fed up with Cuomo and snitches might be thin on the ground.
I just can't accept that Cuomo, using some arbitrary algorithm, can decide from day to day who can and cannot enter his state. Virginia is in good shape with the pandemic: it isn't like Florida or Texas. It just went on the list this week and when new numbers are reported, it probably will come off the list. In the meantime, I'll evade this stupid edict. Good luck!
All of my family’s summer plans in NY were changed this summer, including a family reunion, camping in the Adirondacks and two weeks in Manhattan. Cuomo can pound salt.
Cuomo, however, can visit Georgia, one of his quarantine states, and return to NY without sequestering himself because he’s “essential.”
As an aside, when I was a kid in the 60s our family went to one of those family camps at Saranac Lake a couple years in a row. Really great memories. They’d hire teens to take the kids a aside for activities and nature walks during the day and then after dinner we were allowed to join the adults for whatever entertainment was planned that evening. It was probably only a week during three different summers but those are lasting memories during simpler times that I’ll never forget.
