Law Enforcement Across the U.S. Overwhelmingly REFUSING to Enforce COVID Orders – Will the Public Follow?

Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones appeared on Fox News and stated his department would not enforce the Governor’s new curfew, nor any other COVID orders from him or unelected Health Department bureaucrats. (Source.)

As literally millions of people take to the streets all across Europe to protest new COVID orders as many face a second “lockdown” this year in the name of COVID, there is growing evidence that as states in the U.S. try to order more people to obey their edicts as the U.S. also heads towards a second lockdown, that law enforcement simply is going to refuse to enforce these orders this time around.

Why? Because they are too busy enforcing real laws and chasing down real criminals, rather than worrying about who is in your home for Thanksgiving, or if you are walking around outside without a face mask, etc.

The vast majority of the U.S. public seems to still get their information from the corporate media controlled by the Globalists, so will enough of the public wake up to the fact that all of these COVID orders are NOT laws, and are legally unenforceable?

The American public appears to be sufficiently uneducated enough today to not even understand what a “law” is anymore. A new law is made when someone in the legislature proposes a “bill” which then must pass both houses of the legislature, which is the government body tasked with making “laws,” and then signed into law by the executive branch, either the Governor at the state level, or the President at the national level.

The executive branch can issue “orders,” but the issuance of an “order” does not automatically make it either “legal,” or “enforceable.” Not even during a “pandemic.”

Since these COVID “orders” by Governors are supposedly in the name of “emergency health orders” related to COVID, it appears that most of the country’s law enforcement agencies are waking up to the fact that these Governors just mostly want more control, especially when they themselves do not even follow their own orders, and these orders actually have little or nothing to do with “health,” and are therefore refusing to enforce them.

In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo got upset this week because many of the State’s Sheriffs have come out and assured the public that they are not going to enforce his order that no more than 10 people can attend a Thanksgiving dinner.

New York’s governor Andrew Cuomo has warned law enforcement they have to implement his Covid restrictions over Thanksgiving.

Mr Cuomo had faced a revolt from a string of upstate sheriffs who said they would not have officers implement the rules that bans more than 10 people at family gatherings.

“I don’t believe as a law enforcement officer you get to pick and choose which laws you enforce,” said Mr Cuomo said in response to the criticism. (Source.)

Sorry Mr. Cuomo, but your “order” is not a law! And law enforcement is correct in not using their time in chasing down REAL criminals to be raiding peoples’ Thanksgiving dinner plans.

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, who has made a similar order for her state, came out in public and even admitted that her order, or anybody else’s order limiting people attending Thanksgiving dinners, is not enforceable.

During an interview aired on Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) said that “You can’t enforce” the state’s five-person family gathering limitation and no place in the nation can enforce such a rule.

“NewsHour” Senior National Correspondent Amna Nawaz asked, “You’re asking people in New Mexico to limit their gatherings to five. How do you begin to enforce that?”

Grisham responded, “So, you ask one of the most important questions. You can’t enforce that. There is no way, anywhere in the country, we’re going to be able to say, look, you brought another household together. There [were] ten of you having Thanksgiving dinner.” (Source.)

How sad that so many in the U.S. will obey these “unenforceable” orders and willingly allow their Thanksgiving plans to be ruined.

In West Virginia, Governor Jim Justice issued an “amended” order for face masks making them required even inside buildings. He threatened to close down any businesses that refuse to comply.

To the business owners, he told them to call law enforcement if their patrons did not comply with his order.

Sorry Governor! Your order is not a law, and is unenforceable.

Lawyers and the West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey opposed the governor, and so the governor backed down.

Beckley attorney Robert Dunlap stated:

“Governors have the ability to take you out of jail, it’s called a pardon. They don’t have the ability to put you in jail.” (Source.)

In Oregon, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office has also publicly stated that they will not enforce Governor Kate Brown’s orders after she publicly told citizens to call the police on people who were not adhering to her COVID decrees. (Source. See also: Clackamas County’s Tootie Smith doubles down on defiance of Oregon COVID-19 restrictions.)

Then there is Governor Newsom, who presides over what some people refer to as the Communist Republic of California.

Newsom has gone farther than any U.S. governor to date, imposing a state-wide curfew between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.

And this is following days of media coverage attacking him for failing to obey his own COVID orders by wining and dining with other officials, unmasked with no social distancing, at a fancy restaurant where someone took pictures that made its way to the press. (Source.)

Just after Newsom ordered the curfew, Breitbart News reported that every single Sheriff in Southern California has publicly stated that they will NOT enforce Newsom’s curfew.

Fox News interviewed Sacramento County’s (California State Capital) Sheriff Scott Jones who stated that he also was not going to enforce the Governor’s curfew order, nor any other COVID order.

On Saturday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said that he won’t enforce the state’s coronavirus curfew or any current or future coronavirus orders.

Jones explained that his department still has “the same types and amounts of calls for service as we always have” to deal with and he doesn’t want his sheriffs “to be instruments of…oppression. I want folks to call us when they need help, knowing that we are going to show up and make their lives better and make the situation better, and this is the opposite of that.”

Jones said, “Well, we won’t be enforcing that, or any of the other orders that are in existence now or might be coming. A couple of reasons for that: Really one is practical. We still have the same types and amounts of calls for service as we always have, from the mundane to the exciting.

But there’s also kind of a theoretical aspect of it. I mean, my kids, my family, my extended family are all suffering during this, like everybody’s family. And it really has had an oppressive effect on everybody’s family, and I really don’t want our women and men of the sheriff’s office to be instruments of that oppression.

I want folks to call us when they need help, knowing that we are going to show up and make their lives better and make the situation better, and this is the opposite of that.” (Source.)

This is not to say that there are no law enforcement groups, particularly city police departments who in some neighborhoods will use any means they can to control the public, especially in high crime areas, who will try to enforce these orders, like the curfews in California.

But even then, they do not have the law on their side, and these kinds of orders with no basis in the law are increasingly being defeated in court.

So what are you going to do America? The emperor has no clothes.

If you are not going to resist the wholesale destruction of America and what few freedoms we still have left, when law enforcement is overwhelmingly on your side, what are you going to do when the vaccine comes out and they try to vaccinate everyone in the nation?

Because then you will probably be dealing with the military, who are trained to fight and kill, rather than your neighborhood law enforcement officers, many of whom also have families living in your community.

There is no political solution to this problem. These orders will only get worse, and they are happening in both Blue and Red states, and it matters not who sits in the Oval Office.

Only massive resistance by the public, such as we are starting to see now in Europe, will put a stop to this madness.

When is the law the exact opposite of the law?
Answer: When it is policy.

To understand why requires an appreciation of what is called the “de facto doctrine” or “doctrine of necessity”. One important sense / definition of the term De facto is “in fact, and for the time being”.

Assume, for example, that you are the driver of a car, and that you have just come to a stop at a traffic-light-controlled intersection, and where there is a “No Left Turn” sign above the red light signal, and others elsewhere in the intersection. But before the light turns green, a police officer arrives and gets off his motorcycle and takes a position in the middle of the intersection and directs you to turn left.

The question is: Do you obey the sign and drive straight forward when the light turns green?, or do you follow the officer’s direction and turn left?

Legally, you have to turn left, even though the “No Left Turn” sign is otherwise legal / legitimate, because you are following the same authority “in fact, and for the time being” as represented by the police officer.

Notwithstanding the presence of the legal “No Left Turn” sign, the driver is complying with the “policy” of the authority (Crown or State) as administered by its officer(s) “in fact, and for the time being”, and so there is no offence.

More critically, the question may be put as follows: What is the law on turning left at the intersection? Is it the law that turning left is prohibited? Or is it the law that turning left is mandatory?

Answer: There is no law – there is only policy in fact, and for the time being.

The law is the law, except when it’s not.

Or to paraphrase the exchange in the movie The Matrix:

Do not try to determine the law. Instead, only consider the truth.
What truth?
There is no law. Then you will see that it is only yourself that bends (to the will of the state).

Now, to complete the model, assume that the real reason the police officer is standing in the middle of the intersection directing you to turn left, is because his brother-in-law has just opened a new store on the cross-street and needs customers.

That, in a nutshell, is how the whole world works. Everything that the people think is being done by law is actually policy, and it is the private policy of the administrators and in virtually all areas where it makes a material difference it is most often the diametric opposite of what the written-law provides. 

Now assume that the police officer has another brother-in-law who is selling illegal drugs in the parking lot of the shopping mall where the other brother-in-law’s new store is located? Is the officer’s direction to turn left still the law?

Now assume that as you come to a stop at the red light you recognise the man who got off the motorcycle and that to the best of your knowledge he is not a police officer at all, but only pretending to be one and wearing the same costume as he wore to the halloween party when you last saw him. Is it still law that you are required to turn left?

Whenever you go into court on almost any matter, from a speeding ticket to a failure to file income tax forms, the judge is there to ram “policy” down your throat while fraudulently inducing you to believe that he or she is administering the “law”. 

And that, again in a nutshell, is how the human owners of the world’s privately-owned financial institutions have been able to capture nearly all the wealth of the world without producing anything. They do it by “passing-off” policy as law notwithstanding that it is the precise opposite of what the law actually states and is advancing and accommodating the very evil and frauds that the law was enacted to protect the public from.

What is going on now with the nominal coronavirus lockdowns is the same scam. It is all being done by “policy” fraudulently passed-off or sold-to-the-public as “law”.

History has shown that slavery & oppression happen largely because the people, the masses, allow it to happen.
From ancient Greece & Rome, to Russia, France, Britain, the U.S., and so on.
And the more they allow, the more it occurs, and continue to increase.
It’s a slippery slope.

It’s time to stop the complaining, and start taking action by refusing to continue supporting Big Everything.

We are seeing near total, complete systematic failure.
The more a few have, relative to everyone else, the more those few will use their power & wealth to control the masses.
Adam Smith saw & warned of this.
Vilfredo Pareto saw & warned of this.
Albert Einstein saw & warned of this.
Plutarch saw & warned of this.
As have numerous other political and economic Historians.
Read and learn from these clearly documented examples of the past.


Regardless whether operating under the “Dem”, “GOP”, “Progressive”, “Libertarian”, “Green” or whatever other brand, people need to stop supporting corruptible Politicians.
Step away from mere identity politics, and start holding office holders accountable.

Balance of power begins with the citizens themselves.
And those citizens need to better learn to better avoid the effects of PR, propaganda, and other well-established tricks & tactics.

Stop for a minute, and imagine if Absolutism started being applied to every facet of life.
Learn to give everyone their freedoms back, but also learn respect, compassion and understanding of, and for all others.

Freedom can never be one-sided.

Law enforcement hopefully realize that they get a paycheck and cushy pension from the ECONOMIC ACTIVITY of the PEOPLE.

what does it matter when corporations and businesses are doing the enforcement instead of the police?

Corporations and businesses cannot enforce orders like curfews, how many people you can allow in your home, whether you wear a facemask in your home, etc. All they can do is refuse you business. Then take your business elsewhere. Or band together with people in your community to threaten or actually file a lawsuit against them for discriminating against you. See the video at the bottom of this article of business owners banding together to defy the orders.

True, but….
Neither freedom nor independence come easily.
Where you have dependence, you lack independence.

Those that simply cave to tyranny & fascism of either Big Government or Big Business, cannot expect change, nor freedom/independence.

One must get creative, and active (I have “Doctors” orders excusing me from certain restrictions, and those “Doctors” orders did not come from AMA or medical industry shills – I got creative).

Consider the actions of the Rebels at the Boston Tea Party.
They refused to let the actions of Big Corporate influenced Big Government stop them.
They chose to fight the laws & power that sought to oppress them.

Consider the actions of groups like the Green Mountain Boys against British troops in colonial America.

Read the works of folks, like John Trenchard & Thomas Gordon (via Cato’s Letters – not to be confused with the pseudo-Libertarian Cato Institute) regarding the corruption of the British Monarchy by Big Business in the 18th century.
Work in similar fashion to get the word out, as Trenchard & Gordon (among many other Enlightened Writers) did in their time.
Strong support often begins with true grassroots movements.
And it often takes much time & effort to accomplish. 

Big Everything is gaining, because the masses are allowing them to.
Too many Americans have become too lazy & complacent.
Rather than standing & fighting, they simply cower and give-up.

Don’t like the enforcement of Big Business?
Don’t patronize them anymore.
Either support small businesses, start your own business, or encourage & support those that seek to start their own, thwarting Big Business.

Encourage as many others to engage in peaceful, but effective civil disobedience, as possible.
Show and encourage support.

Talk minus action = zero.


I’ve noticed a disturbing pattern that those that have become most dependent, are also those most often to believe the “covid-19” narrative, and follow restrictive mandates.

Where you have dependence, you lack independence.

People need to work hard to gain control of their own lives back.
But also be willing to tolerate the freedoms & liberties of others.

OUTSTANDING ARTICLE.  YOU’VE OUTDONE YOURSELF.  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS IN WRITING.   I’LL SEND IT OUT.

Orders don’t equal law. Governors don’t pass laws from their desks. State governments have law makers. That’s not the governor.

You don’t have to comply with whatever arbitrarily comes from the lips of any Governor.

Good on them. Cops are (usually) decent people. They also are practical- the risk-reward is too high in the enforcement of such blatantly tyrannical edicts.
