Coronavirus Delaware: Police Authorized To Pull Over Out-Of-State Drivers During Pandemic

DOVER, Del. (CBS) — Police in Delaware have been given the authority to pull over out-of-state drivers during the coronavirus pandemic. Delaware State Police say Gov. John Carney’s state of emergency declaration “authorizes any Delaware law enforcement officer to stop a vehicle driving within the state simply because it is displaying out-of-state tags.”

Once pulled over, state police say the officer will ask questions about the driver’s travel, who will then be told that “they are required by law to self-quarantine for 14 days while in Delaware, or immediately return to their home state.”

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

What cop is going to subject themselves to completely unnecessary up close exposure to complete strangers? They get enough exposure during their shift without this stupid idea.

I went to Seaford for a Dr appt. I had no proof other than the Dr office phone number they could have called to verify. Seems a bit overboard.

We had a co-worker get pulled over by Wico Sheriffs office this morning. Guess they had nothing better to do than harass a working stiff at 7:30 AM.

Where did they think they were going at 7:30 AM.

Stupid.

I'm surprised they haven't started taking pictures of out of state plates and sending $5,000 fines in the mail.

The Constitution was taken out of it's nuclear blast-proof case and publicly burned to the sounds of cheering crowds of Nazi-loving cheerleaders who NEED someone to tell them how tom live their miserable lives.
Armed men from the government pulling you over to "check your papers" and your "agenda".
We are inching ever closer to chaos and disorder. There ain't enough police (and they don't have the weapons, either) to stop ANYTHING the "we, the people" decide we want to do.
Take that macho "WE ARE THE POLICE!!" BS and make sure your family is safe while you are out doing the bidding of your masters. They might be in trouble.
Keep cheering.
