Chicago is doubling down on efforts to enforce its emergency coronavirus travel order, as officials will now be reviewing the social media posts of possible violators as the pandemic continues.

Public health authorities shared the update during a news conference earlier this week, revealing that officials may check the social feeds of suspected offenders to collect evidence for a possible citation, according to USA Today. The outlet reports that suspected violators will be identified as such through “contact tracing or other measures."

Now that they’ve solved all of the murders,rapes and major theft crimes, they can settle down to other more pleasant tasks like shaking down the tourists for dollars.

By “tourists” I gather they mean people from other states or cities? I’m sure there are not many actual tourists in the US right now.

Unless you’re violating it because of BLM.

Laws are only for white people.

Lightfoot and the other Democrats continue to implement their communist society.

This is the sort of situation where a group such as the ACLU might actually do some good, if they chose to go to court on this.

How soon will this get hacked to ‘zero-in’ on non-natives for the ferals to target? Remember, it was Chicago’s own, Rahm Emmanuel who loudly proclaimed about never letting a crisis go to waste!

Sweet. I don’t do social media but I would post pictures from old trips and fake like we were gone, then have witnesses that we never actually left.

Why would anyone want to be a “tourist” in chicongo? Mainly, you have to be on the lookout for bullets coming your way, muggers mugging you, mmentally ill homeless hassling you, fascist “leaders” who will fine or arrest you if you act like you are in a free society with the rule of law and other general leftist dysfunctions. To top it off, if you visit the pathetic “death city”, you are spending money there...supporting the lib/DIM nitwits who vote for such malignant “leaders”. No thanks. More popcorn.

Yes, “tracking tourists” - having outsiders ‘show their papers’ - will work.

Just like tearing down statues worked.

Chicago will soon be ‘crime and disease free.../s

I am required to be there for essential infrastructure. So far, there’s been no checkpoints coming off the plane (not to say they haven’t or wouldn’t strong-arm the airlines into giving up personal information.

They are not by themselves.

A woman friend we know, grew up on the Jersey Coast. Even though she has lived out here for about 30 years. She has gone back to be with cousins and friends for most of August on the shore.

This year, her friends and relatives, with a couple of LEO’s in the family told her not to come there and to try to avoid the 10 days of self isolation.

Also, that they loved her, but Californicator land was going through supposedly a lot of new Covid 19 cases. They didn’t want to her to expose them to an infection.

So she is staying at home. Her husband made his annual hunting ressies and will be leaving tomorrow.

At first she was telling her Jersey relatives that was no way the NJ people could track where she was. They laughed as this woman is on facebook, Twitter and whatever from the time she woke up until she went to bed, with her Apple phone, watch, Ipad and IMac. She created a huge sigint trail from the time she woke up to when she finally went to sleep.

The ACLU has never recognized that the 2nd A IS a Civil Right...

They need to be stripped of their name. For Fraud.
