This is precisely why secession is reasonable as a course of action.

Wow! Drones are being used in America to make sure citizens don’t break social distancing rules. The chief of police says that the invasion of privacy is worth it if it saves one life.
If that doesn’t scare the fiber out of you than I don’t think you understand freedom… In my opinion.
The point of this post was to point out how far government will go, how much power they will take, when the citizenry is scared for their lives. It’s one thing to complain about high gas prices, another to fear a virus you can’t see.
Yet here we are, listening to the gov’t tell us that we can’t go outside, can’t go to work, can’t buy clothes, can’t go to church and now accept a robot flying around, spying on our movements…all in the name of safety. That’s not how I want to be represented.
That’s not why the founding fathers gave us the gov’t they gave us. Do you not realize that what we are facing from our gov’t now is the very reason they revolted against England?
Taxation without representation has became limited freedoms without having a voice. Whether you like the protestors or not, at least they’re standing up for what they believe, letting their voice be heard, without fear.
Come on, mom’s being arrested for letting their kids play in the park? Police showing up to break up lunch in a backyard? Pastors being arrested for having church? You can go on the lake with a kayak or canoe but not a motorboat? You think these things are okay and legal and constitutional? Do you really think that this is what the founding fathers intended?
And I would ask this question; what will be enough for you? When tanks roll down the streets? When soldiers are on the street corners enforcing the law? When you are required to allow them into your house to make sure you’re complying?
Oh wait, that already happened here…230 years ago. Because if you think they’re going to be giving back this power without a fight, you’re out of your minds. Gov. Cuomo just said yesterday that if you want a job, go get one as an “essential worker” because he isn’t going to let the people of New York go back to work until HE thinks its safe for them. Thats’ insanity…in my opinion. In the words of the movie The Patriot, “Why would I trade one tyrant 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants one mile away?”
This is precisely why I cannot stand federalism. This is what it has become. Not to mention the level of tyranny in the name of safety.
And safety has become a god that we worship and burnt incense to.
The slippery slope will continue until we say enough to the injustice, gang.
