Kentucky Is Putting Ankle Monitors On Coronavirus Patients Who Ignore Self-Isolation Order
Fox 59 ^ | 04/02/20

Kentucky courts have ordered several coronavirus patients to wear GPS ankle monitors after they refused to stay at home.

Judges have ordered people who have tested positive or are suspected of having the virus to self-isolate, and those who ignore the mandate may be placed on house arrest, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

As of Thursday evening, the fourth and most recent person ordered to wear a GPS monitor is a man who hadn’t tested positive for coronavirus, but lives with a confirmed case and refused to sign a quarantine order, according to the Courier-Journal. The man’s sister allegedly told health officials he “leaves the home often.”

Another patient in Jefferson County who tested positive for coronavirus was placed on house arrest after going shopping March 21, court documents revealed.

Under state law, officials with Louisville’s public health department have the power to issue an “order of isolation,” which is then presented to a judge for approval.

WCNC reported that corrections officers have been asked to distribute the GPS monitoring equipment to those who do not follow the order.

Very soon, these judges will be sending offenders to re-education camps in the Alaska wilderness. Amazing how a little crisis bring out the Nazis amongst us.

This is how Taiwan has kept a lid on this thing. Quarantine-ees are given ankle bracelets.

They also have like a $10K fine for breaking quarantine.

Quarantine laws, just like this one, have been around for hundreds of years. They are extensively adjudicated juris prudence. In this country. Formerly they’d have just put the reprobate in jail for the duration.

In some states, breaking a lawful quarantine directive from the health official is a felony.

Will California, with more homeless than any other state, put these monitors on their “homeless?’ No, even as the homeless run rampant spreading the virus. Seen Los Angeles or San Fran Nancy lately? LA has become a tent city with the homeless taking over sidewalks, on ramps, off ramps, every vacant lot and anything else they can occupy. San Fran Nancy the same if you can make your way around the feces.

This is nothing that new. Read up on Typhoid Mary. She was an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid and she was isolated because she kept working as a cook. Should have been done with the original aids carriers too.

Ankle bracelets supplied by a kickback-giving contractor.
