[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend drove her kid over to the birthday child's house. They stood across the street in costumes with a banner and belted out happy birthday.[/quote]

Can we still do stuff like this, with the new stay-at-home restrictions?  Does anyone know?[/quote]

Yes, omg did any of you read the actual orders?[/quote]

I am PP.  I read an article that outlined the order, and I understood from it that you could only leave your house for essential things, like work (if you're an essential employee), grocery store, pharmacy, etc.  It didn't say you could drive to friends' houses.  Where are you getting that??[/quote]

I should add, and going out for exercise (which doesn't require a car ride).  So, I don't know what you people are planning to say if you get pulled over, but you better thing of something ahead of time. [/quote]

The Police are staying away from the general public barring emergencies. No one ( in the dmv) is getting pulled over for being out. You can go for a walk/hike/bike/run...seeing as most people cant hike by walking from their house, you can drive to a park as long as its open.  So yes you can drive to your friends street, and social distance and sign happy bday.[/quote]

I wonder if you live in MD?  Because things are different here in VA.  Governor told police to give a warning the first time and then it's a felony misdemeanor.   $2500 fine and/or up to a year in jail.  I don't know if they are really pulling people over, but several people I know have received letters from their employer to carry in their vehicles.  I saw a police (speed trap maybe?) on Monday.[/quote]
