MD State Police anticipated all of our speculation, conspiracy theories and questions:
TATE POLICE ENFORCEMENT OF GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS CONTINUES
(PIKESVILLE, MD) -- Maryland State Police Superintendent Colonel Woodrow Jones III has directed
troopers to continue their public education and enforcement efforts regarding the Governor's Executive
Orders and last night issued specific instructions regarding the stay-at-home order. Those instructions
are as follows:
Enforcement of the expanded Governor's Executive Order will be conducted by
Maryland state troopers. However, troopers will not make traffic stops simply to ask
drivers where they are going to determine if their travel is essential or not.
If, in the course of the regular performance of his/her duties, such as during a crash
investigation or a traffic stop, the trooper develops information indicating the individual
was engaged in non-essential travel, enforcement action can be taken, in
consultation with the state's attorney's office in that jurisdiction.
While it is not necessary for drivers in Maryland to have documentation about the
purpose of travel, having such documentation may help resolve questions.
Troopers will continue to initiate enforcement action when a business or group of more
than 10 people is observed in violation of the Governor's Executive Order.
The Order does not prohibit people from going to the store to get groceries or
prescriptions, seeking medical attention at an urgent care facility, getting cleaning or
laundry supplies. In addition, the Order does not prevent people from going out to get
necessities for pets or other livestock.
The Order allows for travel to care for a family member, friend, pets, etc. Citizens are
also permitted to travel for transporting family, friends, pet or livestock for essential
health and safety activities.
The Order also allows for travel to and from an educational institution to receive meals
or instructional materials for distance learning.
The Order allows for outdoor exercise activities (done in accordance to with social
distancing guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and
crowd gatherings of 10 people or less. However, such actives may not be done at a park
that has been closed by state or local government.
Restaurants can be visited if obtaining food for carry-out or drive-thru only.
