CLAYMONT, Del. — Delaware state troopers are cracking down on out-of-state drivers
State police were active Friday outside the Total Wine & More in Claymont, which is located along the Delaware-Pennsylvania border. Troopers were given full authority to pull over any vehicle with out-of-state tags.
It's all part of heightened measures by the state to limit the number travelers during the coronavirus pandemic.

But DE can go anywhere?
Maybe a few should sit on Polly Branch and put a damper on the heroin they let leave the state.
Search? No probable cause? That's SO illegal and unconstitutional!
The constitution says we don't have to submit to a search of our vehicle, our person, our residents. Film them and then sue the hell out of them if they even try it!
Don't know if you saw this or not, Joe.
Salisbury Mayor to enact store crowding restrictions
Apr 4th, 2020 · by Liz Holland
Salisbury Mayor Jake Day on Saturday took further steps to help stop the spread of the coronavirus by limiting the number of customers at stores and requiring them to enforce 6-foot separations between customers.
There have been reports locally of long lines and overcrowding at some stores as people try to stock up on groceries and other needs.
“The Lower Shore needs to be even more cautious than the western shore,” Day said during a news conference on the steps of the closed Government Office Building. “There are higher rates of diabetes, COPD and heart disease here.”
Underlying health conditions in people who contract Covid-19 have been responsible for higher death rates from the disease. So far in Wicomico County, there have been seven confirmed cases with one death.
The mayor’s executive order includes the following requirements for stores effective Monday, April 6:
75,000 square feet of space or more, such as Walmart or Target, must limit customers to 250;
30,000 to 75,000 square feet, such as a grocery store, is limited to 150 customers;
15,000 to 30,000 square feet limited to 75 customers;
3,000 to 15,000 square feet limited to 40 customers;
3,000 square feet or less limited to 10 customers;
Self-serve foods and product samplings are prohibited until further notice.
The executive order also recommends other practices for stores:
Setting aside one or two hours per day for senior citizens and others at high risk;
Grocery stores not already offering delivery or curbside pickup options are urged to start;
Stores are encouraged to use 6-foot markings and use ropes or other devices to direct customers safely, both inside and outside;
Stores are urged to reduce the number of employees working closer than 6 feet whenever possible;
Increased cleaning of surfaces is recommended.
City Fire Marshal Eric Kramer said he will be notifying businesses of the changes that become effective Monday. Anyone violating the order will be subject to a fine or misdemeanor charges, he said.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has put in effect some of the strictest social distancing requirements in the country in an effort to slow the spread of Covid-19. Essential businesses, including grocery stores, pharmacies, banks and gas stations are allowed to stay open, but most other businesses providing services, including barbershops have been forced to close. Since March 30, Maryland also has been under a stay-at-home order except for essential workers.
Day said he supports all of Hogan’s actions.
“The actions taken so far are almost unprecedented and have up-ended the lives of many people, but they represent the highest function of government which is to preserve human life,” he said.

Gee i don't recall fake Jake being elected as County Executive! He is the mare of the bury only. Be gone you have no power here. go back to propping your feet up and eating your cheetos.
What about the Stores that are not in the CITY LIMITS OF SALISBURY ???
Northwest Woodsman: Exercising police state powers like those of communist nations. Powers that they will be reluctant to relinquish when and if this pandemic is over.
They don't have the power to suspend the constitution on a state level. Just because it is a declared 'state of emergency' doesn't mean our constitutional rights have been suspended on any level. This only happens when the president declares Marshall law and the military becomes the ruling police force and all constitutional rights are suspended!
The attorney general, Barr, should be going to the supreme court with a ceast and desist order on the governor and the state for the 'right to search' for simply having out of state tags.

You obviously have no legal background. Emergency Powers can certainly suspend constitutional rights.
Only the federal government can suspend our constitutional rights, federal law trumps state law period. Article 1, section 9 of the constitution states only the president can declre marshall law overriding your constitutional rights. States can declare a certain area due to certain criteria but that is limited and troops are used to enforce it not state or local police! Where is your federal law overriding the constitution by governors of states?
@12:14 No they can not. Only the president can with martial law.
