Michigan Governor: Up To Six Months In Prison If Businesses Don’t Surveil Customers For Contact Tracing
The Federalist ^ | 11/01/20 | Jordan Davidson

Posted on 11/02/2020 1:35:07 PM PST by Enlightened1

 

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is requiring restaurants, barbershops, tattoo parlors, recreational facilities, and entertainment establishments to record the names, contact information, and visit times of all customers to “aid with contact tracing.” Any establishment that does not comply is threatened with a maximum $200 fine, a misdemeanor charge punishable with up to six months in prison, and a $1,000 civil fine for violating the state’s emergency orders.

The order, announced Friday, comes as Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and her administration began backtracking on the state’s latest reopening plan and tightening COVID-19 restrictions, citing rising hospitalizations and deaths. Other states including New York have implemented similar contact tracing rules, requiring restaurants to record diners’ information in the case of an outbreak.

 

In addition to scaling back the number of people at gatherings at indoor venues from 500 to 50, the order also advised against shouting and screaming at events, claiming that cheering could spread the virus in the air 30 times more than speaking. The newly announced restrictions also emphasized and extended the use of face masks, including on children as young as 2 years old at daycare, school, or “similar indoor settings.”

Earlier in the year, Whitmer signed an executive order threatening a misdemeanor charge and $500 fine for anyone wouldn’t wear a face mask in public indoor and crowded outdoor spaces.

Whitmer and her administration have received criticism for her handling of the coronavirus after she signed an executive order similar to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s ordering nursing homes and assisted living centers to readmit infected patients into facilities filled with vulnerable people.

Contact tracing is the DUMBEST concept ever conceived. For example, how do the fascists rioting in the streets trace their contact with other rioters?

To the people of Michigan: Get off your a$$es and storm the capitol building and shut it down until she resigns...that is unless you are happy with the way she governs.

Adolpha Whitmer is overdue to be charged for these diktats she's making after losing multiple times in the State Supreme Court.

It's dereliction of duty, denial of rights under color of law, misuse of public funds, corruption, etc.

Those businesses need to recording "enforcers" if they follow through, and have it loaded to another site for safekeeping.

This is reimposing the same crap the courts smacked down.
At this rate Whitmer might need that electric fence.
