A conservative law firm is calling a new order in Kansas City, Missouri, "Nazi-like" for requiring churches to "surveil, track, and spy" on anyone who attends an in-person service.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas issued the 10/10/10 rule in effect May 5, ordering that nonessential businesses, like churches, can have 10 people inside and 50 people outside as long as they practice social distancing. They also must record the information of anyone who spends more than 10 minutes inside.
In addition, nonessential businesses can operate at 10 percent maximum capacity.
The order states that by recording names and contact information, the health department will be able to more quickly trace, test, and isolate individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19. Anyone who doesn't provide their information won't be allowed in.
Our goal isnt to see what everyone is doing and be Big Brother, Lucas said, according to FOX 4, but that's not how many in the community see it.

I disagree that it's a reasonable request (I would also assert that it is reasonable for 2 good Americans to disagree on this point). I think that the 1st Amendment is so sacred that any threat to "the free exercise thereof" is off limits.
Are they taking names and addresses of people who go into WalMart? No; and WalMart doesn't even have an amendment to the Constitution in its favor.
Not the thing to do, the media would call you a neoNazi white supremacist Christian
Dear Mr. Mayor,
As demanded, here is a list of the ten people who attended my church’s Sunday service.
Chuck U. Farley
I.P Freely
Pontius Pilate
Alfred E. Neuman
Pierre Delecto
Nicolae Ceaucescu
Warren Wilhelm, Jr.
Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov
Sally Rand
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
Its been common for many decades for churches to have a booklet in the pews for the members and visitors to sign
None of the comments seemed to mention that the KC mayor is a Democrat. Suppose that’s an indication of anything?
Why put Sally Rand on that list of jerks?
While being well armed too!
Because she’s dead so they can knock themselves out looking.
A Leftist cabal runs Kansas City, just like a Leftist cabal runs St. Louis, they’d impose a Leftist dictatorship in about one second if they got the chance. They are putrid carbuncles on the body of the State of Missouri.
Only if you allow people to sign in themselves and first announce that the Church will make NO effort to verify the information given.
The left’s idea of the First Amendment can be summed up as:
You are free to worship in the properly zoned religious structure during official church hours, where you can hear the approved message from the licensed pastor.
Our church has a book for visitors to sign in, if they want. Some do, most do not.
Why not just tell them no to start with?
I bet your are 100% correct.
I care less about the intent than I care about the potential for abuse. It is not unreasonable to think that they may be well-intended, but that is not the issue.
“Your papers please?” Boxcars are waiting.
I couldn’t agree more, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
A fool always believes he is wise.
No compromises! Never compromise with these socialist alpha hotels.
