So they catch someone trying to get home at 2:45 they go to jail. Seems like a logical thing to do, tie up resources to transport someone to jail because they missed Comrade O'Neill deadline by a few minutes.

I guess you have to like dictatorships if you want to live in NYC.

“travel ban.”

In the United States of America?

[Mamzelle]

Walking, too?

[Paladin2]

Whatta bout private vehicles with plows?

[Alberta's Child]

That's what a state of emergency means. I've never heard of someone getting arrested for being on the road, though.

Read the other thread about the National Guard being called out to help hundreds of stranded motorists on the Pennsylvania Turnpike since yesterday -- including bus loads of people traveling home from the March for Life in Washington.

If you want the government to come and rescue you when you're in trouble on a public road, then you shouldn't complain when they tell you to stay off the roads in inclement weather.

Well in the snow belt, travel bans on major hiways are possible due to inclement weather such as blizzards. Now if they had a ‘you go and get your stupid ass stuck, then you`re on your own, you can freeze to death if it`s that important’ alert I`d be cool with that.

Might just as well be under martial law, for a couple feet of snow. I can understand a advisory to stay off the friggin roads, but they have thousands of plows! Plus all general use trucks were fitted with front end plow blades. Thousands more...

This is a bad sign....but it all fits with the end days of the Republic.

They should arrest them.I think we got close to 2 feet of snow here.Firemen could not get to fires because of stuck cars.

[sport]

They will arrest you if you are off the road also.

[FreeReign]

I'm east of NYC. I just drove five miles to pick up my kid. I had no idea that the ban was mandatory. I saw a couple of cop cars, but they were busy.

So I guess I'm lucky I wasn't stopped and arrested.

Stopped reading after the first sentence. If the idiot author doesn't know what martial law is there is not much point in going any further.

Gotta love dem New Yawk values.

Another chapter in the Pussyfication Of America.

The problems are a little different here. If a car gets stuck and an ambulance can’t get through, a life could be lost, just because someone couldn’t stay home.

I was just out. Everyone walking in the street and an SUV comes by. But I figured it could have been something important.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Incrementally testing martial law?

[Lazamataz]

Try to arrest me and I will kill you.

[mojo114]

I am amazed by the government today ruling that you must not do this and that.
Back in the 1960’s, when I was in high school, if we had a snow day we jumped into a car to drive up the mountain to ski.

[Eagles6]

Going to or coming from work? Does that include police, doctors, nurses,ems, utility workers...?

Saw on Drudge that they won't be giving tickets for building illegal snowmen.

WTH?

An English-speaking East Germany. Swell.
