HARDIN, Ky. - A Kentucky couple was fitted with ankle monitors and placed on house arrest after the wife tested positive for coronavirus but refused to sign self-quarantine documents, according to reports.
Elizabeth Linscott said she got tested for COVID-19 as a precaution because she was planning to visit her parents in Michigan. She received a positive test result but showed no symptoms.
She said the Hardin County Health Department asked her to sign documents agreeing to call them any time she left her house. The young mother claims she never refused to self-quarantine but said she would not sign the documents because of how they were worded, WAVE reported.
“My part was if I have to go to the ER, if I have to go to the hospital, I’m not going to wait to get the approval to go,” Linscott told the station.
After opting not to sign the health department papers, Linscott said she received a text message informing her that the situation would be escalated and law enforcement would be involved, KABC-TV reported. Her husband, Isaiah, said he was greeted by officers at their front door later that week.
"I open up the door, and there's like eight different people, five different cars, and I'm like 'what the heck's going on?' This guy's in a suit with a mask. It's the health department guy, and they have three papers for us. For me, her and my daughter," Isaiah Linscott said.
"We didn't rob a store. We didn't steal something. We didn't hit and run. We didn't do anything wrong," Elizabeth Linscott added.
The couple said they were fitted with ankle monitors that go off if they stray more than 200 feet from their home.

ACLU is okay with this.
You see, this is what it’s coming to. You just as well substitute “mask” for “mark.” This is what the world is coming to.....
Cut it off. Put it on the front porch.
Prepare for a no knock raid with .308 or above.
Welcome to the Gulag, comrades.
I’m fine with quarantining the sick. I respect that she doesn’t want to give it to her parents. She also should respect other peoples parents. I would hope that the health officials treat all equally though. This is not okay if rioters get a pass, etc. If she has it, then 14 days is not an unreasonable price to pay. Under this model though, the healthy should be able to open their businesses and congregate freely with the knowledge that the sick are quarantined. It is working this way, right?
They were asking her to sign under duress. —-Totally invalid contract.
If presented with this Sign and then document the duress. Get an attorney.
I wonder if the couple had refused to come to the door, if the officials would have kicked their door. Sadly, this sounds more like China, Russia, or Hitler’s Germany than our Republic.
If you’re not sick, don’t get the test.
Eventually there will be a violent response and at this point it’s justified.

Was the guy armed? Bammy would have given him a gun just in case.
The Mask of the Beast.
That is EXACTLY what I would tell them I was going to do. And their no knock raid would be on an unmanned house. The rest of my plan I will not share at this time.
Any LEOs out there want to die on this hill?
I’d cut it off and leave town.
Then have incontrovertible proof that I self quarantined for two weeks and sue their pathetic butts.
Refugee from California ? There is a lot of bread in your post, but not much meat. Wear your chains lightly.
Its not working this way
Tyrants use the laws like this to crush any dissent from the sheeple
Look how reasonable the state was
It wasnt at all
They are prisoners
State doesnt compromise with you
Youre a peon
They have to be brought into court and after tens of thousands of dollars even if you win they may still not stop doing the wrong thing
If they didnt shot you beforehand and cover it up, ie ruby ridge, the grazing cattle guy
Its not working
This whole damned thing has been one monstrous months long exercise in the deprivation of rights without due process right here in the good ‘ol U.S. of A.
Moral of the story: don’t get tested!
This is why they were screaming about testing for months.
Will be a lot of ‘conservative’ virtue signaling here LOL!
But this is just what our Founders would have done.
IDK, personally I’d have taken them at their word and just resorted to the law if they broke their word. But the law and history is not on their side.
