Why on earth would allow some government agency to track me. Some health departments have taken it upon themselves to arrest people that won’t sign documents.

It’s like HOA battles, except now you can be put in jail on a whim.
Even being an common case, and will likely be overturned in courts, it’s just too risky.
- Dylan16807 6y ago> Some health departments have taken it upon themselves to arrest people that won’t sign documents. Which health departments, what documents, and how many people? And how did they get arrest powers?
- wolco2 6y agoNever heard of this but I could see it happening. New Covid health task force under Biden gives an order.
- throwaway201103 6y agoHealth departments can order you to quarantine. In practical termss that's like house arrest.
- treeman79 6y agoNot like house arrest. But actual house arrest. Ankle monitors. http://www.wvih.com/wp1/index.php/2020/07/19/couple-on-house-arrest-for-not-signing-quarantine-form/ http://www.wvih.com/wp1/index.php/2020/07/19/couple-on-house...

- Dylan16807 6y agoOh, that's what they meant? That's not about signing documents at all, really. It's about whether they will agree to supervise their own quarantine, or whether the state has to do it. Then there was some stubbornness and/or misunderstanding in regards to making that decision and agreement. "Some health departments have taken it upon themselves to enforce quarantine on people that just tested positive." doesn't really inspire the same kind of outrage.
