My census form says NOTHING about any fines, so I don’t know about any fines. Per the Constitution, enter the number of individuals living in quarters. DON’T include their names or answer any other questions EXCEPT under race.. There enter “other race”: MIXED (UNKNOWN).
I’m considering telling them more if they BRIBE me. After all, they’re masters at bribery as we’ve just witnessed.
They can levy a $5,000 fine for not complying, but I listened to an interview of one of the Census bigwigs and they said they’ve never fined anyone. They choose instead to “persuade people how important this information is”.
That’s how I filled mine out ,, number of persons and under each person gave names as jane doe #1 , john doe#1 , baby doe#1 etc. ,, no other questions answered.
