"Will I be arrested if I leave my house and I’m not an essential worker?

It’s possible. A willful violation of the order is a criminal misdemeanor. "

The solution can be worse than the problem.

I’m going to meet up with a few retirees this morning at a local park to hit some softballs........Whitmer’s EO says we can go outside to exercise so I hope some over zealous LEO doesn’t decide to screw with us......

You wonder why NY is a hot bed, A friend of mine sent me a pic of a park across the street from his house. It was packed with young children and their parents

Overreacting. Don’t just stand there, do something.

All this “stay-at-home social distancing” stuff is making me lay-zzz...That and the over-the-counter melatonin.

Public transit needs to get shut down.

Pickup trucks might be allowed by law to have a few masked passengers slip a dollar or two each via a partially open passenger seat window and ride in the bed.

Here’s the “kicker”.

:: Can I have a handful of friends over?
No. “All public and private gatherings of any number of people occurring among persons not part of a single household are prohibited.” ::

1A: “...abridging...the right of the people peaceably to assemble.”

Sticky wicket, eh, what?

We had some friends over, and we live in Michigan. Am I stupid for doing so?

Next time, invite me over for an in-person evaluation.
I’m only about 2 hours away.
Will there be cake?

These authoritarian governors are really digging this virus.

I question the validity of this being a criminal offense. It was never voted on by the house or senate. So I don’t think that this would stick if you fought it in court.

As of now, it is temporary.
Patriots still hold the high ground.
We must remain diligent, tho.

I agree we must stay vigilant. This is nothing but a dictatorial decree from the governor. It has no legal justification that I can see. If so what written law is it based on.

On the other hand I choose to follow it but at my choice not by fake law. I do not want this to spread but will not allow her to take more power than she is legally entitled to.

“shelter in place”: “House arrest” (so far, voluntary) with a promoter.

In discussions here in Midland, it will be misdemeanor “Breach of Peace” (a real regulation!). Not sure if the State has a BoP statute but, that will be the enforcement mechanism locally.

BoP is sufficiently vague enough to give them discretion in how they enforce.
