You can be fined for breaking the law, but can't be fined for not following the "rules".
There is a difference.

Our son drove from VA to NYC (over GW Bridge) to visit his sister this past weekend. He was concerned about being stopped because he has one of our cars bearing a FL plate. Absolutely nothing happened. No stops at bridge, no one said anything to him at all.
When our daughter drove down here at the beginning of Covid (she and husband were forced out of their campus housing) she was stopped entering FL on I95. She explained she was staying with us & quarantining for 14 days. Which she did. No issues.

Without accusers, read as a person, the fine is not enforceable. Further someone leaving NY before the 14 days did not necessarily violate a quarantine order, you could simply be tired of it and leave early. Again provide evidence of 24/7 surveillance to prove otherwise.

Except in The Villages!

How ironic....
The state who's residents are the ones largely responsible for Florida's "uptick" (when they FLOCKED here when they were "let out of the box", and obviously DID NOT quarantine, because their vacation rental was ONLY a week or 2 in the first place) is the one with the BIGGEST mouth...waving IT'S finger at US...
They were in the newly opened restaurants and stores, spreading that crap around like typhoid Mary...

Soon we might all have a chip.

States are woefully out of money. Consider it a health and money issue.

I called the hotel to cancel, and was told they are being told to check on guests from out of state to see if they are self quarantining. No Joke.

We entered NYS on the 13th. No border check. In fact, we were passed by a state trooper who undoubtedly saw our Fl tag. We are currently self quarantined aboard our boat according to NYS Dept of Health guidelines. Being rule followers, we filled out the on-line DOH form. The next day a very pleasant nurse from Seneca County called to say they would be sending us a daily text to check on our health. So far we're fine and we appreciate the contact. This is the only point of contact by the state to verify our compliance, she told me.
We look forward to ending our quarantine on the 27th. When we do, we will be free to leave the marina (by car) AND, if for any reason we get stopped by police, we have the form we filled out WITH DOH ACKNOWLEGEMENT as proof of quarantine in our cellphones. In the meantime, we're enjoying cruising Seneca Lake, quarantined on our boat.

It will likely cost $2000 or more to fight a $2000 fine. And if you just ignore it they will report it to the credit agencies and the next time they catch you in NY you will get picked up. In the long run, it may just be better to pay it and forget it. Anyway, thanks for the warning!

Lamont said that travelers will be subject to a $1,000 fine if they do not comply with the quarantine or complete the Travel Health form.

Spot checks will also be conducted at Bradley Airport, Lamont said.

Better to just stay home.

[dcorts]

I wouldn't pay the fine and never go back to New :York

It is a new rule I believe in place last week and I am told the fine could be up to $10000

It's a Civil penalty, not Criminal. I'd rip it up! All of this crap is going to end up in the Civil courts, and it'll be interesting to see how the Constitutionality of this, comes out? State and Local politicians making various edicts, changing them at will, then deciding who/what can open or do various activities? It's sad!
