[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some employers are issuing letters to people verifying their status as essential and I know MCPS told key employees to have their IDs on them to show if needed. Are we likely to be confronted by law enforcement while out and about? I didn't go to the store today because the order was clear that this was allowed and I figured it would be a madhouse in advance of the order, but if there's a possibility of being stopped and needing to explain my movements when I go out, I'd like to be psychologically prepared.[/quote]

I think you are a bit over concerned.  All non-essential businesses were closed before.  People are still allowed to go to open stores and do virtually everything they were doing before (aside from pick up take out...which I do not understand).  They just added enforcement for people defying orders and getting together in groups.[/quote]

You are right. Here's a statement from the Montgomery County Police: http://www.mymcpnews.com/2020/03/31/montgomery-county-department-of-police-statement-on-enforcement-of-governor-hogans-executive-order/

Summary: They are not going to be randomly stopping people and checking for compliance. However, if you are encountered in the course of a traffic stop, investigation of a large gathering, or investigation of suspicious activity, they may ask what you are doing out. [/quote]
